Fun. 21. 
ficl'lom lina n new management run up 
Mich a record its that of Norninn McKlunoll 
and Frederic Whelcn, nt the Vaudeville — I 
should snv tliey lmv nvernged a piny a 
month. "Helen of the High Hand," which 
(bey did on Tuesday, looks as though It 
might have lictter luck tlinu Its predecessors, 
thanks mnlnly to a flue pcrformnnce by Mr. 
McKlnnell, us James Ollcreu Shaw, a typical 
character of the pottery district, In the North 
Midlands, which Arnold Bennett depicts 
with such fascinating skill In his novels — 
this one lias been adapted to the stage by 
ltlchard Pryce. 

OUerca Shaw had added cottage to cottage 
until he bad become a very rich man. but 
be contentedly lived In a mean bouse, ill 
tended by a slovenly servant, alternating his 
rent-round with a game of bowls and the 
plaintive performance of the Hallelujah chorus 
on a concertina. To him arrived his distant 
rclntlvc, Helen, a maBterful and sclf-conlldcnt 
young woman. She bad a little money, tbe 
profession of a school mistress, an extrava- 
gant taste In dress, and an uncouth lover 
with whom she had agreed to differ. Uncle 
OUcren Shaw made his young relative the 
offer of a home. He was tired of his shrew- 
ish, dishonest housekeeper, and Just a little 
afraid ot a stnnrt widow ranging her forces 
Against Mm. But Helen shouted with laugh- 
ter at tbe idea of the small, stiff parlor, tbe 
bedroom that would hardly contain her hnt 
boxes, the mean housekeeping. The old man, 
fascinated by her presence In his home, by 
her domestic skill and Its ensuing comforts, 
persisted, till at last Helen began to quote 
terms, which were high. There were many 
llerce encounters era the high hand became 
definitely the upper hand. Uncle OUcren 
Shaw bought and equipped n beautiful old 
country house. There he lnstnlled Helen, 
her most unpleasant lover summoned to her 
Bide again, and he allowed her to put nt any 
rate a portion of his vast Income Into gen- 
erous circulation. The old man really de- 
served a better fate. 

Marie Tempest's new play Is not a success. 
Norrey's Council says ho got tho Idea from 
Fielding's "Joaoph Andrews." This Is un- 
necessarily honest, for his debt to Fielding 
is not greater than was thnt of Itnrrle, in 
respect of the Admlrabla Crlchton. In both 
cases the hero is n serving man. Hut Bnrrlc 
switched off nt the right minute. Mr. Cou- 
ncil makes his whimsical, aristocratic hero- 
ine actually innrry her footman, and it is 
not an ngrcenble situation, even though tho 
youth bo well favored and "self cultured." 

Two now sketches were Installed at tho 
Palace on Monday night. One, "L'Imprc- 
Earlo." appealed to Alfred Butt In Paris. It 
li brilliantly played by Scvcrln-Mnrs, but Is 
painful. A young actor. Insane, escapes 
from a sanitarium and makes Ms way to tho 
flat ot a charming actress, who believes him 
to be nn Impresario, due to call, and proceeds 
to sine to Mm. The poor fellow is moved to 
tears and maniacal laughter. Finally he It 
recaptured by the sanitarium attendants. 
"Itlvols for Rosamund," by Arnold Bennett, 
li quite unworthy of tbo author, it Is a three 
cornered discussion, on the eve of Rosa- 
mund's marriage, between herself, her proa- 
Jiecttve husband and an old lover ; poor stuff, 
udecd. 



Israel Zangwill. defending "Tbe Melting 
Pot," says the advanced playwright Is apt to 
be too superior. "Because a drama has a 
dc-flnlto aim, becauses It preaches and dis- 
cusses n big subject, are no reasons why It 
should not contain humor and tears. That, 
1 think, will be the nature of the play of the 
future — n serious subject treated theatrically, 
with elemental effects and expertly studied 
technique." Tho report is that "The Melting 
Pot" Is doing very well here. 

Francois Celller. the long time Savoy con- 
ductor, left rather less than $15,000. 

Stanley Houghton, the dramatist, left less than 
$.10,000. This makes tbo statement that be 
realised $500,000 from "II ladle Wakes" ridicu- 
lous.

sailed on tbe Cfdrfo next week, but Oswald Stoll 
bus procured n postponement of ber American

the Coliseum, then negotiate his circuit.

shortly become a picture house, caused an out- 
er]', and now a scheme la floated to maintain It

and Phelps, for years, ran Shakespeare. 

Arturo Split!, who la American, says he means 
his production of "Oavallerla Bustlcana" to be 
but the drat of many abbreviations of classical 
opera on tbe music ball stage. 

Grace La Rue says abe first thought of nxlng 
up costumes when she was a straggling actress. 
She determined to individualise ber clothes.

through.

by tbe chorus, la supposed to wave an American 
Hag, but In view of tbe fact that tbe show was 
traveling in Canadian territory, tbe Canadian (lag 
and the American Dag were placed side by side

L. WOLFE GILBERT. 

So much has been written recently about 
L. Wolfu Gilbert, one of America's brightest 
lytic writers, that his past performances can 
be summed up In a way that a well known 
rangazln? writer treated Uio leading Ameri- 
can lyric writers. "In speaking of l>. Wolfe 
Gilbert, one need only to look up tho past 
record of this young man to know bis stand- 
ing In the music world. He 1b without ques- 
tion the cleverest and most versatile of 
American lyric writers. He Is a writer who 
does not confine himself to a certain stylo 
of lyrics, but ha* a range from the ordinary 
ragtime song to grand opera. Although ho 
has turned out raoro than a dozen million 
copy sellers, be is yet In tho prime of life 
and wonderful things are expected of him In 
the future. Chief among his past surceases 
arc : 'Mammy Jinny's Jubilee,' 'Ynu Did, Ynu 
Know You Did,' 'What Would I Do Without 
You' and 'You're the Fairest Mttlo Daisy.'" 

The P. A. Mills Pub. Company, Hr. Gil- 
bert's publishers, arc at the present time on 
an advertising campaign that lias seldom 
been attempted by a music publisher It em- 
braces an expenditure of over twenty thou- 
sand dollars, exploiting Mr. Gilbert's two 
Idlest songs, "Camp Meeting Hand" and 
"She's IinnolD? Her Heart Away," written 
In collaboration with Lewis W. Mulr and 
Kerry Mills. Hoth gongs have been on the 
market hut a short time and have shown up 
so wonderful that Mr. Mills decided that n 
large advertising campaign was the only 

{imner thing as a token of regard for what 
>c thlnki ere two of tho greatest songs ever 
composed.

'Too Many Cooks" Is a highly diverting 
American comedy, containing plenty of heart 
and bumau Interest. The laughs are frequent 
and spontaneous, arising from the most 
natural au'l convincing iltuatlons Imaginable, 
and tbe dialogue sparkles with witty Lines 
and bright repartee.

riding that tbe wedded state Is the life for 
him asks no advice from anyone, but Is 
finiply deluged with It from everyone. Hav- 
ing been ui'cepted by the "only girl." and 
feeling that he would rather build bis own 
little nest In advance, the play opens with a 
rceoe disclosing the foundations of a cotttgo 
In tbe suburbs whlcJ, when built up and fin- 
ished, will become tbe domicile of Albert 
Dennett and his bride. 

The girl, Alice Cook, possesses good looks, 
charm and all the rest of tie requirements, 
but she also possesses a large and meddle- 
some family. 

The young man possesses a good position 
and salary, and a fair bankroll, which ho 
Invests In the building of bis future home. 

In addition to these advantages Bennett 
has great prospects, Id the suape of a

Ir THINGS keep going as they are theia 
won't be anybody In the carnival business 
tot a lot of "near managers." The business 
Med* first class Independent showmen, ca- 
yable of producing shows of merit. There 
are plenty of first class managers that woull 
■lake room for showmen, and, besides, a first 
♦lass Independent showman can make more 
none/ In a season than any ten men who 
lave nothing behind them but the desire to 
te a manager. 

Havb you got such a thing In your pocket 
as a gold or sllrer carved wagon front? If 
aot. get one. Many of them seem to have 
plenty of them laying around loose. Mana- 
gers, why not build some real shows to to 
leblnd those fronts? 

Nat Reisb ajtd Johnny J. Jones should 
snake a grand combination together. We caa 
frondly say that we were the first to sus- 
picion this affiliation. Nat and Johnny J., 
allow us to wish you well. Another thirty- 
car carnival added to the excitement.

Impossible lines? Aa soon as those "one 
nore show that don't conflict managers" get 
lack behind those hamburger stands, the bet- 
ter off the carnival business In general will 
te. No wonder showmen like P. J. Mundy 
•ecame disgusted and retired from the busi- 
ness, and C. W. Tarker decided to specialize 
to the manufacture of riding devices. 

TO ASPiai.va toono fbbss agents. — In pre- 
paring wrlte-up9 for publication In amuse- 
nent Journals you would make a bigger bit 
with the profession In general and would 
to yonr manager more good and cause him 
fess reverse criticism if you would conflno 
your write-ups to actual facts. If you can 
lot tell the troth about the size, merit and 
amount of business done by the carnival that 
yon are with, It would be far better to keep 
illent and even to lose your position than 
lo embelish the troth In a manner la which 
»me of you are doing. Build up vour repu- 
tation on truth and veracity, and It won't 
le long before you will be In demand by 
■rpresentatlve carnival managers. If R«d 
Onion does not make himself clear In this 
matter •write him and he will -write this para- 
graph all over again, as many times as H 
accessary, to make you clearly understand It.

George 'Washington's Birthday Ole- 
brutloii, Laredo, Tex., Feb. 14-35. 
Ladero la one hundred and fifty- three 
miles, via the International and Great North- 
ern Railroad, almost due South of San An- 
tonio in Webb Country, Southeastern part of 
the Lone Star State, on the Rio Gror.de 
River, which Is tho dividing line between tha 
United States and Mexico. 

This thriving border city hag a population 
something like 15,000 souls, eighty per cent, 
of which, we are told, are Mexican or of 
Mexican extraction. 

The buildings are characteristically Hex- 
lean In architecture, the streets are very 
narrow, numerous parks and olazis are scat- 
tered tboughout the city, Mexican habits and 
customs dominate the social and business 
life of the community, some of which are so 
radically different from the American way of 
doing things that your curiosity Is aroused 
to such an, extent as to causo you' to more 
carefully investigate the environs. 

Directly opposite Laredo, Tex., Is Nuevo 
Laredo, Hex., which, under normal condi- 
tions, is said to have a population of five 
thousand. 

An International bridge connects the two 
cities In ibe centre of which la a tablet 
marking the dividing lino between the United 
States and Mexico, whereon Is inscribed the 
articles of the treaty made between the 
United States and Mexico in 1841. 

The contrast in conditions between tho 
two Laredos 4s very marked. 

The Laredo on the American side enjoyi 
unbounded prosperity, while the other Is 
being laid low by the ravages of war and Its 
attendant demoralizing Influences — yet only 
a narrow steam of water divides them. 

The celebration 4n honor of the birth of 
the father of our country has been given In 
this city for the past sixteen years, under 
tho auspices of the Yaqul Tribe No. 4, I. O. 
R. M. (Bod Men), and at all times receiving 
the full support of the local merchants ana 
business men. 

This event Is also the time and occasion 
for the gathering of tho men higher up In 
the affairs of the I. O. It. M., who come to 
this city each season from all parts of Texas 
to lend their support In making the George 
Washington Birthday Celebration a success. 
For the past four seasons the Southern 
Amusement Co. has held the contract to fur- 
nish the amusement features, and it was 
with the sanction of the Southern Amuse- 
ment Co. that the Mlller-Lacbman Shows 
were permitted to present their attractions, 
which wero In every way all that could bo 
desired for such an occasion. 

For reasons best known to Don C. Steven- 
son, manager of the Southern Amusement 
Co., their attractions did not make the date. 
Laredo Is the only city or town la Texa* 
that celebrates the birth of the father of our 
country In such a befitting manner. 

AU streets and public business buildings 



were decorated in red, white and blue bunt- 
ing, and feitoonod WlCi red white and Ma* 
electric lights. . - 

_ All business was suspended, and every In- 
habitant being attired la bi» holiday rai- 
ment 

Although, programmed for five days the 
real celebration was confined to one day. 
The twenty-second of February being on Sun- 
day, the big features were held over and 
given Monday, Feb. 23, when the grand street 
pageant was presented to erpectant thou- 
sand, in the form of a civic, military. In- 
dustrial and fraternal review, wliich was 
moro than a mllo long, and passed through 
the principal thoroughfares of the city. 

Prior to tho formation of tho parade the 
local Tribe of Red Men gathered In front 
of the City Hall, where the Mayor of Laredo, 
Robert MeCoinb, by proxy, presented cio key 
of the city to Pocahontas, after which a 
response was made by Hon. Joseph Ryan, 
Past Great Sachem I. O. R. M.. of Texas. 

Following this. In the afternoon, were 
other local events. Including a burlesque bull 
tight Each and every ovent revealing some- 
thing unique and distinctively of local mo- 
ment and atmospjcre. Tho whole affair being 
a wonderful success.

Seen and Heard In Laredo. 

The Mexicans bare some very set rule! 
and customs regarding the Intermingling of 
the sexes at public gatherings. Strange 
sights confront you at every turn during 
carnival thne and other events. Owing to 
the different clashes, tbe crowds are divided, 
and they form a solid line, and they trav.-l 

Generally two abreast and march around tho 
'lazas In a circle, women going In one direc- 
tion and the men In the other, passing 
Jiarallel with each other, and -when the oh- 
ect of their affection or admiration passes 
they flirt with each other and pass notes, 
bat men and women aro never seen together 
at public gatherings, unless married. This 
promenading Is called "milling," and tho 
custom Is probably as old as the HpanNh 
race Itself. 

Around the Market Plaza there aro Innum- 
erable venders' booths of all descriptions. 
Gating, fruit, confectionery and refreshment 
stands. The Mexicans, as a race, are very 

2 tentative, but among tbo lower classes 
of confine their gambling to penny propo- 
sitions, and aa a result you will find many 
wheel games that market their wares by 
charging from one to Ave cents a turn. You 
can And tho children and grown-ups alike, 
phylng these games for fruit, candy, pea- 
nuts, and bottled sodas. Tbo writer favr 
one stand that was a combination of fruit, 
candy, peanuts and soda water. A peanut 
Icing tho smallest prize and a botrlo of soda 
being tho largest prize. 

George Pendarrls, of Houston, Tex, was 
noticed among the visitors. 

There was no confetti allowed during the 
celebration. Plenty of noise makers and 
ticklers were in evidence. 

II. B. Danville manipulated the situation 
to that everybody made some money. There 
wore at least one hundred "CCiump stands" 
on the Plazas.

comedy with tie Uiller-Lacbman Shows. 

rnhe Mexicans are a great people to play 
on stringed musical listruments, with a 
preference for the burp, Either, guitar, man- 
dolin and -violin. It Is a common sight to 
see a two or three piece combination of theBe 
instruments playing In front of eating 
stands, saloons and hotel tobbys. 

Jock and Jamie Wyllo played in the Pal- 
ace of the Orient for Jean De Kreko, as a 
spocte'l addition, to the stage performance 
during the Laredo engagement. Many show- 
men and coneeflslcmalree, wbo have been 
Wintering in -San Antonio, went to the La- 
redo cetebratton and worked in capacities 
entirely foreign to them, simply to enjoy the 
outing, and enjoy tbc vacation. 

Among .£Mos« prominent id carnival circles 
wio •wore expected and did not arrive were : 
Herbert A. Kline, J. George Loos, Al. V. Gor- 
man, Wfftter K. Sibley, Fclece Brenardl and 
John Oyrer. , 

Jake Davis, the dapper assistant to Don 
C. Stevenson, has jo:ned the "Suit Case 
Totcre Association." Joke, be carefuR Don't 
allp. Great men have fallen for fair women, 
by being Knights of the Grip. Now take 
Walter P. Stan-ley for instance. 

Jean De ttreko has a new cue for calling 
belly-boos. 

An old mold was heard to say that Oscar 

C. Noble was the handsomest man with the 

carnival. A. D. Murray said that she meant 

him. Do we believe it ? What makes Oscar 

. C. noble I 

C. It. Kirfay, general manager of the C. R. 
Klrby Bhows, was a visitor at the celebra- 
tion, Friday, Feb. 20. 

Richard Weston says : "A motorcycle is a 
bicycle under the influence of gasoline." 
Richard also says tbat Oscar C. Noble want- 
ed him to talk Mexican during the celebra- 
tion for fear tbat he would be paid off In 
Mexican money. Note: Borne of the Mexi- 
can money at present is being printed on 
little bits of pasteboard cards. We don't 
blame Menard. 

Among the visitors to the celebration 
were: Icmmett Nevada, Charles M. Nigra, 
W. W. True, Mrs. Paul Hunter, Paul Des- 
muke, Mrs. John Esmond and Ethel Shoe- 
maker. 

J. Fred Pletz kept the Teddy Bear Wheel 
oiled up end working nearly all of the time. 

W. P. Palmer, Jules Knspcr and Charles 
M. Nigra were seen together In close con- 
ference unite frequently. It's a big scheme 
of some kind. 

Charles E. Meyers and Paul Hunter were 
talking it over very confidentially, so we 
look for a olgconcesslon combine. 

George F. Donovan has organized a Root 
Beer Club. It now has twenty members, and 
I* Increasing In number dally. Among the 
applications recently passed on were those

W. F. Palmer, Jake Davis, iM. A. Qowdy, 
G. M. Padgett and I. L. Peyser. Red Onion's 
application was turned down. 

Mrs. Paul Hunter must be given credit for 
knowing how to eelect designs for pillow 
tops. 

II. B. Danville was looked upon by the 



nllment. 

Andy Logston considered himself a very 
busy man for somo cause or other. H. Bern- 
stem, and Charles Ross did their share to 
make the "bunch" feel at home In Laredo. 
Both gentlemen are of considerable local 

fromlnence. Robert McComb, the Mayor of 
aredo, extended himself In assisting In mak- 
ing the celebration a success in every way. 
Dave Goodlett, at ono time in the carnival 
traatnesB, but now operating the Monarch 
Moving Picture Theatre, in Georgetown, Tex., 
was a visitor. 

Jerry Gardenia .the famous animal trainer, 
plans to be in Kansas City this week. Jerry 
•ays that he don't know Just exactly whore 
lie will land at the opening of the regular 
season. 

L. L. Vendee, manager of the Hoyal The- 
atre, Laredo, Tex., has leased the Grand 
Opera House, in San Antonio, and will open 
It on April 19, under his management, play- 
ing vaudeville, stock and moving pictures, 
throughout the Summer season, closing Sept. 

Fred Haynes, the concessionaire, plans to 
branch out on a very extensive scale thlj 
season. 

Eugene P. McKennn still has the Wild Went 
bag, and Is very likely to have hit own 
show. 

About forty thousand strangers visited 
Laredo on Feb. 23, Many came expecting 
to hear the roar of the Mexican cannon 
across the border. There was a little flght- 
lng about ten miles away. 'Something like 
two hundred dead and wounded fell in the 
fray. 

Jake Stockman says that talking Is not 
a business, but that selling novelties Is a 
business. That's what he Is doing. 

John Osmond was Initiated into the Elks 
whllo in Laredo, 

IL Brcnstein, who claims to be n moving 
picture man of Chicago, and who has been 
identified with various brandies of the tent 
■how business, has been making Laredo his 
home for the past flvo years. 

EX C. Tolbott.— Quite a few of the "bunch" 
were eating o new Mexican food concoction 
called aero-plalnos, seemed to be mado out 
of pepper suuco and dough. Someone re- 
marked that you would like them better 
than Lee A Perrta* sauce. 

Several of the showmen visited Nnevo 
Laredo, Mexico, Sunday, Feb. 22, George 
Wnshlugtons Blrthdny. 

George W. FVdrtey, Charles M. Nlgro. W. 
W. True and William Jndklns Hewitt went 
over in one party and wero met by the Ameri- 
can Vice-consul, K. M. Garrett After 
viewing the conditions, all express them- 
selves that they were glad that they were 
American*. 

George P. Dortovan was seen talking to a 
Bomber of Mexican generals. That caused 
the "Bunch" to wonder If George was going 
to war. 

Jule Kasper Is probably the originator of 
the whistling Iwlly-hoo. George W. Fair- 
ley says that that will put lettuce and bird 
seed very much in dVmand. Charles Maga- 
dan the cxinoessloaaire, says mat ho comes 
from Harpot, Armenia. Asia Minor. 

P. J. SneU (Texas Bud) la said to bo 
fremlng up a concert ballyhoo, constating of 
a number of senoritas. It's a good lion. 
But why senoritas? 

Located quite a way from the Market 
Plow, behind a fence, was a oneplt Mexican 



Snake Show, with a scnorita dancing with 
the snakes. Fernando Lopez, of Mexico City, 
was the manager, talker and ticket seller. 
He charged five cents admission, but did not 
appear to be doing much business. He said 
ho was going to play there long after the 
celebration was over. Right next to him 
was a twelve-foot, old style fish pond, oper- 
ated by a citizen of Mexico, whose name was 
Jesus Laurez, who charged anything from a 
penny up. lie said he was going to stay 
there until the police run him out 

W. H. Conway, manager of the Western 
Union Telegraph office at Laredo. Is a One 
fellow, nnd did all tbat he could to make 
show folks welcome. It's a pleasure to meet 
a man like Mr. Conway. He knows how to 
cater to the stranger. 

J. W. Hopkins (Paul Jones), tho man who 
made sandwiches famous, has had fourteen 
years' experience In the outdoor amusement 
business, nnd in seasons passed was with 
Van Amburgh and Howes Great London 
Shows, the Parker and Patterson Carnivals, 
is now making Laredo his home, where he 
has been for the last four years. We wish 
him continued success.

RED ONION DAY. 

Saw Antonio, Tex., Feb. 25. 
Editou New York Clipper, 

Deab Sir: Yon will please find a short 
story pertaining to your correspondent, Will- 
iam Judklns Hewitt, better known as "Red 
Onion." 

Laredo's annual celebration this year, was 
greater In many points than it ever was be- 
fore. Of the five days that presented spe- 
cial events In the celebrated. T, 0nion City," 
there was no day enjoyed any more than 
"Red Onion Day" by the showmen or tho 
natives. iHls Highness, Red Onion, arrived 
in Laredo the morning of Feb. 21, at 7.80. 
He was mot at the depot by the carnival band 
and over one hundred of his friends. He 
was taken to the Hotel Bender and there 
given an onion breakfast, consisting of an 
onion stew, onions and small steak, and 
onion omelet He went fairly well at the 
omelet and steak and onions, but fell on the 
stew. He -was from there taken to the 
bridge and led into Old Mexico by Chief 
Onion Falrley, Captain of the Onion Guards 
Dr. Danville, with a company of fifty smaller 
onions. In Mexico he was introduced to 
General No Savs as 'the official war corre- 
spondent of the amusement world, and a man 
whoever was known for his peaceful methods 
end great sincerity in writing or giving 
nothing but truthful reports. At this tho 
general answered that he thought that he 
must not be a representative of the Ameri- 
can press, -which we convinced him he was. 

Returning to Laredo we were met at the 
bridge by Jakey Davis, Manning B, Pletz, 
Jewel I Casper and Oscar Noble, who acted 
as flower (onions) boys, and a host of others, 
showering him, with flowers (onions) when 
ho was mounted on the water wagon and 
led to the carnival grounds, where the shows 
were assembled around £>o City Hall. As 
the picture will show. Red seemed to enjoy 
this ride, and I believe ho was prouder than 
President Wilson was when ho was inaugu- 
rated. The band played "Dixie'' and an 
"Onion March" that was written by Prof. 
Webb, which must have appealed greatly to 
the small boys, as It mostly consisted of long 
chords, short chords, dls-chords and many 
ether hideous strains or sounds that can 
only be produced In classics. 

-A brief synopsis or imaginary scene of 
Red Onion loading tsha parade. When the 
band played "Dixie" and tho clumsy little 
flower girls strewing onions in Onion b path- 
way, a multitude of visitors, and the thou- 
sands of showmen seemed to soy in unison, 
"Long live onions," and closing I wish to 
say that tho many will Imagine wCien they 
tee the coming picture that the ladies did not 
participate In tho reception of tho biggest 
Onion In .all the world. But there was a 
specially arranged program by the ladies of 
the combined carnival companies, namely: 
Southern Amusement Co., Laohman A Miller 
Combined -Shows, De Kreko Bros., and a score 
of Independent concession men's wives gave 
Red Onion a Pink Tea Reception, in Teddy's 
tent It was an exclusive affair, and the 
writer coud not get any of do program from 
Mrs. Lachman, Mrs, Do Kreko, Mrs. Paget 
Mrs. Desmond, Mrs, Foster, or from any of 
the other ladles, nor even Red himself, but 
I heard It whispered that he received a sofa 
pillow and somo other soft and beautiful 

G resents In the way of drawn work and 111- 
gre work, as the ladies seemed to think 
that Ittd Onion is about to go the same way 



that tils old and esteemed friend Walter 
Stanley did „ „ „ 

Red put In every half hour of bis time 
while visiting to a great advantage, and I 
know tbat Tna Clipper has made a host of 
new friends with the natives of Laredo, Tex., 
and Mexico both, and the words of praise 
tbat were heard from everyone connected 
with the different enterprises of amusements 
at the celebration were many and sincere, 
lied announced that he would leave at 7.80 
Sunday evening. The boys had arranged a 
mulligan stag down at the Lachman A Miller 
cars, and had him arrested and put in jail 
until after train time, as they believe Red 
end llko him, they would not take any 
chances, and they got the good Chief Des- 
mond to put him in jail an hour and twenty 
minutes. Red at flrst was a little peeved, 
but down at the cars when he received the 
third degree of tbe Root Beer Club, be seemed 
well satlsQed and promised to Be a real live 
booster for the organization by getting his 
many friends to join. Col. Geo. P. Donlman 
gave Red the work in a real quiet way, ap- 
preciating Red's delicate disposition, bat 
gave it all In a very effective manner. 

The stag party closed at 8 a. m. by all 
present singing "Auld Lang Syne" and "Hes 
a Jolly Good Fellow." Truly yours, Manning 

B. PLBTZ."

Bob says that be always does thlnga right, so we

COLONIAL 



(SAM TAUBEB, MOB.) 

The .patrons here arc being regaled from 
week to week by dancing act», which repre- 
sent the most proficient performers, and who 
are skilled in dancing movements that have 
hoconio the popular craze over nearly tbe 
entire world. So, while this dancing erase Is 
en, it Is only natural that the managers 
should give their patrons a vlnv of all the 
prominent disciples of the terpslchoreon art. 

Joan Sawyer and John Jarrott, who have 
established themselves as firm favorites In 
theatres farther down town, bead the bill 
here this week la modern dances that were 
received enthusiastically at the matinee of 
March 2. All their dances were applauded 
unstintedly, following In this order: "Aero- 
plane Waltz," "Three in One," "MaxUe," 
'Congo Tango" and the "Turkey Trot" 

Perennially bright, an entertainer to ber 
flnger tips, and a woman who brings warmth 
and gladsome laughter to her audiences on 
all occasions is Fannie Brlce, who holds an 
important program position here this week. 
There was a royal welcome awaiting ber 
first appearance, and for about twenty mln- 
ntes It was Just one round of laughter and 
applause, with everybody happy- Her songs 
and burlesque Imitations place her in n class 
by herself. 

B. A Rolfe's superb musical production, 
entitled "Arcadia," was the musical gem or 
tbe bill, and the artistic manner of its pres- 
entation would achieve success even though 
the talents of the people engaged in the affair 
were not of such marked proficiency. It 
made a strong hit and was highly appre- 
ciated by the big audience. 

Hoey and Lee as character parodists of 
popular songs, and patter which was funny 
all the way, were recalled for many encores. 
Their parodies were all to the merry, and in 
their fine ot work they have but few com- 
petitors. 

Bobble Gordone appeared in her classy 
posing act. presenting a series of statue pic- 
tures which were a feast to tbe eye. 

Alax and Mabel Ford gave one of the best 
dancing acts seen here this season. Their 
three dances won the applause for them In 
volumes, and their neat costuming is a credit- 
able feature of a fine dancing number. 

Arthur Hoops, Ruby Raymond and com- 
pany appeared in their sketch, wherein two 
crooks In a plot to rob a dealer In mines are 
outwitted by their supposed female accom- 
plice. The tables arc turned, and their vk- 
tim upsets their plans and geta the young 
woman to consent to marry him. The sketch 
was well presented, and the audience llket It. 

Burley and Hurley did comedy acrobatics 
and gave a new line of patter that went over 
Is fine shape. In the character of an Eng- 
lish "dude* and a braw little Scotchman, 
they were Irresistibly funny. 

Rafayettc'B animal novelties, composed of 
a group of canines possessing nearly human 
Intelligence, opened the fine bill with a series 
of feats, several of wblch bad never before 
been seen on this stage. The act Is entirely 
too good for the number one position of a 
program. 

' Two acta which were programmed but 
were probably delayed by the big snowstorm 
were roster Ball and Ford West, and the 
Three Hedders. Old Timer. 



"TBE LAST RESORT/' 

Lonnncre (H. H. Frazec, mgr.)— The 
Lait Resort a melodrama in three acts, by

on Monday night, March 2, with this east :

George Scarborough, the author of "The 
Lure" and "At Bay, made his bow as a pro- 
ducing manager on Monday night, March 2, 
when he presented his third play, "The Last 
RcBort." 

We have had many plays in tbe past deal- 
ing with political and judicial corruption, 
but none of them have been quite so daring 
as "The Last Resort." If we are to bellevo 
Mr. Scarborough (and we aro assured that 
tbe main incidents in the play are founded 
on facts which came under his observation 
while Jn the Secret Service) many of the 
judges on our highest courts are dishonest, 
and those that are honest have their hands 
tied by corporations and political bosses. 

It is not surprising that many managers 
refused to produce this play, and the author 
was therefore compelled to present it himself. 

Mr, Scarborough has written an Interest- 
ing but not 8 convincing play. We doubt If 
it will prove successful as a two dollar attrac- 
tion. On tbe cheaper circuits it will proba- 
bly "clean up" a lot ot money for its author, 
for It Is really an old time melodrama, with- 
out the heroic speeches and pistol shots. 

The play has for its chief character, Rich- 
ard Osborne, a corporation lawyer, who has 
been engaged to ruin Sberldan Holt, a rich 
young lawyer who is taking up, without fees, 
the legal fights of the poor against railroads. 
Osborne arranges with a conuut judge named 
Prendergast, to bring about the young law- 
yer's disbarment for contempt of court, 
which offense Prendergast forces him to 
commit. The Judge sentences him to Jail and 
orders his disbarment 

Holt takes his case to the Appellate Court. 
Osborne manages to get Into the private 
consultation rooms of me Appellate Court and 
orders Justices Haskell and Alexander around 
as if they were office boys. He even goes so 
far as to dictate their opinion in the Holt 
case. Bat Chief Justice Macon remains true 
to his high office and orders Osborne leave 
the room. All of tho conversation has been 
overheard by Frances Ellison, a newspaper 
woman, wbo is also Holfs sweetheart. She 
had been biding In the telephone booth and 
had taken down the talk In shorthand. The 
lawyer and the corrupt lawyer, and tho dis- 
honest justice charge her wiEi burglary and 
she Is found guilty and Is sentenced to 
prison for five years. 

Holt is also returned to jail, and from 
his cell he directs his campaign for governor. 
He, of course, eventually wins, the girl Is 
released on ball, tbe corrupt Judges have been 
removed, Osborne gets bis deserts, and the 
Chief Justice performs the wedding ceremony 
of Holt and bis sweetheart. 

George Fawcett was Osborne, tbe corrupt 
corporation lawyer, who even made war on 
women in order to carry out his plans. 
Despite the fact that he slipped up on his 
lines once or twice, he gave a capital per- 
formance. In roles such as this one, Fuw- 
cett Is superlatively good. 

Wilson Melrose, as Sheridan Holt, ployed 
with distinction. He is a capital actor who, 
for some reason or other, is not seen often 
enough on tbe New York stage. He has a 
splendid speaking voice, a commanding pres- 
ence, and speaks distinctly, wblch Is, Indeed, 
a novelty In tbe theatre these days. 

Olive wyndham was sweet and charming 
as Frances Ellison, but was unequal to her 
big scene In the last act 

Richard Barbee, as Billy Ellison, made 
much of bis one scene in the third act 

Mark Price was dignified as the Chief 
Justice, but his make-np was very poor. 

The others in tbe cast have small roles. 

The scenes showing tbe Justice's Chambers 
were richly mounted, and the throwing of 
the election returns on tbe wall ot the cell 
for the Imprisoned candidate for governor to 
read was well worked oat. Eeloef.

PROCTOR'S FIFTH AVEHUE. 

(OS'S MCCCNB, MOB.) 

Manager Gus has a varied and speedy bill 
at the Fifth Avenue this week and, con- 
sidering the blizzard that blew in with the 
Initial show of the week, Monday, March 2, 
the house was In good spirits, with the 
vision ot old March blowing out like a Iamb 
and an early Spring. They enjoyed every 
act 

Paul Fetching and company opened the 
show in a refreshing oddity, "Schneider's 
Musical Garden." (See New Acts next week.) 

It was a reviving treat to watch and bear 
those two winsome girlies. Myrtle and Daisy. 
They claimed a goodly share of the "hand" 
thing with their dainty way of singing and 
dancing, and every bit about them Is grace- 
ful and tidy to set off the good looks 
each bas been endowed with. The blonde 
girl Is a clever pianist and Dinger, and the 
oark girlie Just ber equal. Well, I guess you 
think we liked Myrtle and Daisy. Wo do, 
and so should all future audiences. 

Raving Nell McKlnley sang and extracted 
nut amusement to extraordinary favor. 

Joe Keaton continued attempting to make 
tho rather larger Buster behave, but Buster 
slips "Pop" a few of tbe medicine he's been 
brought up on, and with Myra, why, they 
Just swept things clean for satisfaction. 

'Louis Mann, with a large and capable 
company, Including Emily Ann Wellman, du- 
plicated former laughing successes with a 
version ot "Elevating a Husband." 

Wellington Cross and Lois Josephine, that 
conple of rollicking singers and dancers, 
slipped away another success into tbe old 
trunk, and Rose Marguerite pat a touch of 
class to the show's finish, with tho assistance 
of ber magnificent white horse and chubby 
pony, in graceful poses. 

Joe Cook, the "one man vaudeville show," 
held op his billing to a fine verdict Tod.

The play (written twenty-eight years ago) 
Is by this time so antiquated that no reason 
why it was unearthed can be seen, and the 
stale Jokes and equally stale plot could 
produce scarcely a smile off and on. There 
were, however, three factors that made it 

rsslble to lire through the performance, 
e.. the acting of Hansl Arnstacdt, Grete 
Meyer and Heinrich Marlow, a trio worthy 
of tbe highest praise. Besides, the two 
ladies showed a goodly number of upto-date 
and becoming costumes, an added attraction 
universally appreciated. Fri. Arnstaedt 
proved that she is also an excellent emo- 
tional actress ; may we soon bave an oppor- 
tunity to see ber in a more appreciative 
part, She deserves tbe reputation she enjoys 
abroad, fully. Herr Hatthaes took good rare 
of tbe clumsy, middle-aged country gentle- 
man, while llcrr Watdan was altogether oat 
of place, being far too old and stout for his 
part. The rest of tho cast did well in minor 
roles. Bcrollna. 



"WHAT WOULD YOU DM" 

Hudson (Henry B. Harris' Estate, tDgra.) 
— What Would You Dot a four act play by 
Augastln Macilugb, produced Monday even- 
ing, March 2, with this cast: 

Ethel Halworth Loutso Drow 

A Butler John I.. Arthur 

Herbert Hostage Milton Silks 

Amy Hostage Gladys Wynno 

Alice Bessie Barrlscale 

Robert Jenkins A. Byron Bcasley 

Howard M. Smote Richie Lias 

Mrs. Lispanard Halworth Matt le 'Russell 

Tom Gllfau Karl Bitter 

Kato ..Alice Carrlngton 

A. B. Maynard Robert MacKay 

It is almost unbelievable that a clever 
writer of Ingenuous comedy situations and 
brilliantly humorous dialogue, such at Au- 
gustus MaoHugh proved himself to be In the 
turning out of his initial success, "Officer 
000," coold bave constructed sued an abso- 
lutely absurd and inartistic affair as "What 
Would You Do?" Possibly tho author's forte 
is realistic farce, at any rato It would seem 
so, after a casnal resume of the good and 
bad points of bis first serious drama. 

Of the latter there are many glaring and 
noticeable faults, which would Indicate that 
this piny was not exactly a recent effort, but 
possibly one ot his very first brain dilldren. 

To be sure, there Is much to be said in 
praise, too, especially of tho efficiently drawn 
characters and the working into tho plot of 
numerous little life-like touches tbat evidence 
tbe keen observer of life In New York. 

The play starts off slowly as light comedy, 
gradually dissolves into melodrama, ana 
nearly ends up as a rustic idyll, with a 
strong sprinkling of farce. 

Herbert Hostage, bank clerk, possessed ot 
a three thousand a year job and a wlfo with 
five thousand a year Inclinations, is in- 
duced by this mercenary little woman to 
speculate In Wall Street on tbe Up of one 
Howard M Smote, who, according to tho 
program, is a multi-millionaire. Howard is 
also a very wicked gentleman. 

Robert Jenkins, a magazine writer, is a 
friend of tbe family, who has Herbert Hos- 
tage's best Interests at heart, and naturally 
being a youth of sophistication, wisely co'in- 
eelsHerbcrt against the Investment flyer. 

Tbe wife's fondness for the luxuries of 
life determines tbe young bank clerk, and he 
dips Into the dizzy whirl of high finance and, 
of course, wins, first tune out. They always 
do. So far so good. But, excited with the 
first taste of pnrcbaseable pleasures, the 
wife urges further ventures in the financial 
jungle, with the natural resultant climax. 

In the second act we find Herbert despond- 
ent and ready to commit suicide. No wonder. 
The poor love-lorn youth has stumbled and 
fallen hard Naturally a bank clerk with 
access to tho money drawer tnkes the 
simplest coarse of action, whlcli moans In this 
instance that Herbert has helped himself to 
$50,000 worth of someone else's property ln> 
a vain effort to recoup his losses. 

Tho magazine writer. Bob, Is a resource- 
ful chap, however, and after a consultation 
be puts a plan Into effect that is virtually 
a live or die effort In brief the bank em- 
ployeee Is Instructed to "borrow" a half mil- 
lion dollars in securities. With tbe help 
of friend Bob this is Invested and the 
market, taking tho hoped for turn, put the 
easily Influenced Herbert $300,000 ahead of 
tbe game. Meanwhile the multi-millionaire 
has been quietly endeavoring to steal Her- 
berts wife, not satisfied with having tried 
vainly to plot bis financial and social ruin. 

Herbert and Bob happen in at an oppor- 
tune moment and catch Smote violently 
hugging tho resisting Mrs. Hostage. A scene, 
in which both are denounced In highly melo- 
dramatic fashion— r'You villain, you bsve 
broken op my home," etc.— follows. Mrs. 
Hostage proves satisfactorily that, while she 
bas been slightly indiscreet, she has been 
true to ber husband. In the strict sense of 
the word. 

'Herbert has quit winner with $300,000, 
which anyone will concede Is a nice little 
bankroll. This be proffers to his wife, who 
calmly accepts as if it were live or ten dol- 
lars. This acceptance shows him clearly 
the shoddy character of bis wife in a bright, 
glaring light In the fourth act, however, 
she evidently, according to the dialogue, 
must have repented and sent back the boodle, 
only extracting a small sum, we learn, with 
which to pay her debts. 

Tfte title "What Would You Do?" refers 
to the final disposition of the HI gotten cur- 
rency. Herbert solves this, after much dis- 
cussion, by building a Some for cripples, 
which was a rather peculiar expedient used 
by tho author, to end tho play. 

Louise Drew, as tbe mercenary wife's sis- 
ter, was simply mis-cast. A slng-songy 
method of reading lines, and an utter lack 
of any conception of tbe role, marred ker 
work. 

John L. Arthur offered an acceptable "bit," 
as a butler. MUton Sills, as the foolish 
young husband, was entirely too stagy and 
lacking In the technique necessary to make 
the rather difficult part convincing. 

Gladys Wynne, who was supposed to be 
his Bister In the play, spoke with a marked 
cockney accent, while Mr. Sills articulated 
New Yorkese, a rather jarring and Irritating 
inconsistency, which may have been caused 
by the necessity of engaging some one for 
the sister rolo hurriedly. 

Bessie Barrlscale was only fair at best as 
the wife, never at any tlmo seeming to have 
a proper conception of the character. 

A. Byron Beasley. barring an occasional 
tendency to grope for his lines, portrayed 
the role of tbe magazlno story writing fixer 
with a pleasant, breezy, light comedy method, 

Ritchie Ling, as tbe wicked man of money, 
who wanted to steal Herbert's wife right 
under his nose, gave a performance good 
only in spots. He teemea to lack force In 
tbe big scene. Possibly It may have been 
the lines. 

•flattie. Russell was very good Indeed, as 
the money-mad, extravagant, burgcols mother 
of the wife. Hers was a delightfully correct 
characterization. 

Karl Bitter, as a chauffeur, and Alice Car- 
rlngton, as a maid, played two minor roles 
competently, 

Robert MacKay, as the crooked stock 
broker, who was misled into buying and 
selling stock for Hostage and his friend, 
Jenkins, was fair In a poorly written part 

The const ruction of the play throughout 
Is loose, and tbe production end, which called 
for three scenes, very commonplace, shabby 
nod distinctly not up to the Broadway stand- 
ard. 

The author might be accused of having 
paralleled the story of 'Wine Feathers" but 
for the fact that "What Would You Dor' 
was very evidently written long before the 
above mentioned domestic problem piny. 
Possibly a process of revision might help the 
slow moving story, but It looks hopeless.

Regardless of the severe storm that had 
New York in its grin, a capacity audlenco

Tbat Joyous singing comedienne, Emma 
Carus. assisted by Carl Randall, held down 
a rather poor spot on tho bill, but showed

has added some upto-date dancing, which 
Includes tbe tango, one step and the Maxlxe,

ON HBn TOBS. 

•The Wanhtntiton (D. O.) Timet, of Feb. 
27, printed a front page story and cut of 
Minnie Burke tripping gayly down tfao Capi- 
tol stops on her toes. Miss Burke won a 
bet by doing the Btunt, which attracted cou- 
aldorable attention among tho senators. 

We quote The Timet : "She performed la 
the historic spot where presidents hnTo taken 
the oath of office since tho Capitol was 
erected. iBut she made a new bit of Jlstory 
for tho spot. Records show that an automo- 
bile once tried to climb op tho flight. Carl 
Browne succeeded In making a speech there 
bcfoTo lie died, but tbo oldest employes of 
the Capitol stoutly maintain that never be- 
fore has a toe dancer performed ttiore, and 
look duly shocked Wuea. asked such a ques- 
tion. 



"And that cosrumo 1 Tho lock was as brief 
as tho costume. l>or another cloak waiting 
na two cirmpanlons bustled the adventortnis 

f'oimg woman Into an automobile. But whirl- 
ng draperies and a hazy tiivprcsslou of legs 
— -beg pardon, limbs — is tho only deflnlto Im- 
pression on those who saw tlm performance." 

HMFORTANT DECISION. 

An •unprecedented Injunction has been 

granted to Aaron Hoffman, dramatic writer, 
y Judge Ba/. in tho V. 8. District Court 
lor the Northern District of Now York, on 
Feb. 13, 1014, in an Injunction brought by 
Hoffman against Bam Lo Traunlck, a Ger- 
man comedian, using tho stage name "Sena- 
tor Murphy," and against Jean Bedtnl, a 
theatrical manager. Bedlnl has boon pro- 
ducing a play entitled 'vTho Mlsohlof Mak- 
ers," nnd a feature of tho performances was 
a topical monologuo recited by "Senator 
Murphy" (i-o Traunlk). It was shown In 
the anion that the Murphy monologue con- 
sisted of a, collection of gags culled from 
thirteen copyrighted monologues, written hy 
Aaron Hoffman, undor the title "Tho Ger- 
man Senator" and "Tho German Politician." 

Hoffman's monologues wcro used by tho 
Into Cliff Gordon, 'Who, nt tho tlmo <if his 
sudden death In 1IH.1. 'ia<l become ono of 
tho most successful comcdlilrm on tlm Ameri- 
can stage, and was receiving $500 a week for 
reciting tbo clever, funny nnd Intightor arona- 
lngs sarcasms, roalaprops and witticism)) 
written for hlin by Hoffman. Trrrbtigli Cliff 
Gordon, "Senator Murphy" (In Trounik) 
became acquainted wlni <Hoffinan'B mono- 
logues. He attended repeated recitals given 
by Gordon, and from memory ho took down 
tho best passages, from which ho mndo up a 
composlto reproduction of Hoffninn's -ma- 
terial, This composite result wait resetted by 
him Id Iledlnl'H show. 

In oho final decree, which has lust been 
rendered by Judge Hay, It Is •adjmigcii that 
tbeso monologues are tho original crcntlons 
of Aaron Hoffman, and that Hoffman Iras 
valid copyright in them. 

The composlto anonologuo onado up by Lo 
Traunlk Is declared to do an unlancful repro- 
duction, and ho and Hedlnl nro adjudged 
guilty of Infringement of Hoffman's copy- 
rights. 

An injunction Is granted porpetually ro- 
etralnlng the reproduction, recltnl or use of 
Hoffman's monologues, or of any part there- 
of, or of any abridgement, compilation, or- 
ruDgement, Imitation or version of said 
monologues, 

-Hoffman is awarded $1,000 damages nnd 
$005.78 coals. 

This Is the first known enso whore a comic 
monologue has been protected by tlm courts, 
and wbeie both tho actor and manager of the 
attraction bavo been mulcted In dimingea.

THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. 



March 7 



THE GAYETY GIRLS. 

COLUMBIA. HBW YORK, MARCH 2. 

"Schmidt's Widows" Is the burlesque, with 
the following cast: 

Kudolph Schmidt Gus Fay 

John James Jones Eugene Jergo 

Terrence McNab Billy Kelly 

Bud Tliomas Hodgeman 

Betty, the shop girl Edyth Hamilton 

Mrs. Flossie Schmidt Ada Lum 

Mrs. Susie Schmidt Ifie Williams 

Mrs. Beauty Wright NelUc Florede 

Models and Shop dirts — Morgan Sisters, 
Cattell Bisters, La Vann, Cushman, Mayers, 
Larmon, Griffin, Marlon, Kelly, Wilson. Hel- 
dclle, rierce, Harrington, Chapman, Wilson, 
Wall, May, waldron, lhirnham, Glenn, Stokes. 

The plot Is very meagre, but It gives Qus 
Fay a chance to be funny as the fat German 
tailor, and to disguise himself for a few 
moments with a beard as a doctor. 

Eugene Jerge appears to excellent advan- 
tage as the straight; Billy Kelly plays a 
perfunctory Irishman. 

Edyth Hamilton was a gingery soubrette 
ehop girl ; Ada Lum was one of the wldo.vs ; 
Jlae Williams Is a buxom and comely singer. 

Nellie iFloredc eaxig well as the prima 
donna, and appeared well In a number of at- 
tractive gowns. 

The numbers In tho first act were "Regi- 
ment Bond," by Mr. Jerge ; "Girl from Arl- 
sons," by Miss Florede; "Rudolph Schmidt," 
by Mr. Fay : "Get Out and Oet Under," put 
over In lively manner by Miss Hamilton and 
(he active chorus, to several encores; "Tho 
Cat Duo," wlUi ''Nobody Lovs Me-Ow," fea- 
tured by Mr. Fay and Miss Hamilton, with 
several chorus girls selected to do the 
chorus; "Rosclanu," well sung by Miss Will- 
lams end Mr, Jerge, with the girls In showy 
rose costume ; a singing; ana talking sex- 
tette, and "Picnic Day," with the ladles' 
band, American flag, etc., to a lively finish. 
Ike Wall made a big hit playing the detec- 
tive in the bomb skit,* although not billed on 
the program. 

The olio had Jergo and Hamilton In their 
cntchy act, singing 'iComo and Kiss Your 
Llttlo Baby ;" "Kentucky Eyes," by Mr. 
Jerge, with a fine dance by Miss Hamilton, I 
ana a good double finish. The Interna- 1 
tlonnl Musical Maids played a brass quar- 1 
tette, "The Horary" solo, on tbo French horn, | 
accompanied by tho chime, was a big bit, 
and tho brass selections, by six, In which 
the talky eyed drummer girl stood out, served 
as encore getter, 

Nellie Florcdo opened with "Mother Ma- 
chrce," then rang "Your Loving Daughter 
Handy," and finished with her trump ace, 
"My Hero," striking tbo Wgti notes trae as 
steel. 

Tho second act Is a cabaret scene, the 
opening song, Introducing four KusKlnn 
dancers and four Americans. "Gambling 
Man" was' Bung by Miss Wlllnmn; "This Is 
the Life." served Miss Hamilton as another 
winner. Qua Fay did "Fall Blver Lino" 
with the choruB, frequently Interrupted by 
the Circe man bond, with Ike Wall non- 
chalcntly playing the bass drum ; Miss Hamil- 
ton, In a natty black dancing suit, led tho 
eight buck and wing hoofers. In white. For 
tho finale, Nellie Florede. In UpJhtB, sang 
"The ncart of Maryland," with tho girls in 
full tights doing march movements. 

Qus Fay enjoyed that part of tho show 
from a scat In tho aisle. A slRsy" scene be- 
tween Mr. Jerge and Mr. Fay was amusing. 
A table scene alii not do so much. Tbo band 
worked on full tlmo at tho drop of the cur- 
tain. 

Tho staff: Bob Simons, manager; William 
Vail, agent; Eugene Jerge. stage manager; 
Melville Browne, musical dlroctor ; Qus F«y, 
dance producer; Joe Mullen carpenter; Will- 
iam Hauford, electrician ; Iko Wall, property 
manager; Allco Wilson, wardrobo mistress. 

MANAGER MACK SUMMONED. 

Another gun In tho campaign against Sun- 
flny shows was tired this week, when J. 
Herbert Mack, president of tho Columbia 
Amusement Co. and manager of tho Columbia. 
Now York, was bnnded a summons March 2, 
to appear In court, on a charge of violating 
tho Sunday Law. The "concert" at ttio Co- 
lumbia, on March 1, included an acrobatic 
act, a big girl act. in tights, etc., and other 
acts, tho presentation of which could bo con- 
strued to im a violation of tbo statutes. Tho 
outcome, will be wutched with great In- 
terest by local managers, who bnvo thus fur 
enjoyed tho extremely liberal Interpretation

AND 

REAPPEARANCES 

( Oontinucd on page ts.) 

Maurice Snmnels and CompanyJn "A 
Day on Ellis Island." 

Fulton, HrooklvN, Matinbh. Mabcti 2. 

Owing to the big storm Samuels' scenery did 
not arrive In time for the Monday nnttlnee, so 
the act used on Interior set furnished by tho 
house, and wag a big bit on their re-appearance 
here. 

The story tells of an Italian woman and a boy 
arriving In tills country, and owing to tbo woman 
not having tho necessary dollars required by all 
emigrants, she Is about to bo deported, when her 
sweetheart arrives at Ellis Island, showing docu- 
ments providing that he marries her within thirty 
ilnyn after tho death of an uncle he is to rccelvo 
$r,o,0oo, and the "Inspectors" agree to tho wishes 
of both and the ceremony. 

Good business remains abundantly throughout 
tbe sketch. Mnurleo Samuels Is a wonderful im- 
personator of tbe Italian character, and be never 
once gets away from his study. Toe Inspector, a 
gruff sore of a part, Is well taken care of, as welt 
as the Irish officer, who la Indeed made successful 
by a man who alto "doubles" In tbe prleit part 
with cuuully good results. 

Mr. Samuels la excellent as tho Immigrant, and 
tbo boy is a clever Juvenile performer. Ills violin 
specialty, using "I Miss You Most of All," "Got 
Out and Oct under" and "International Rag," 
went big, He is a musician of merit. Samuels 
worked up One comedy during Its entirety. 

It Is worthy of being classed "a laugh a minute 
comedy," as It Is extraordinarily bright and 
hugely funny. A decided hit over the brllge 
Monday afternoon, taking four curiam, calls. 
Twenty-seven minutes, full stage. fits'.

Alleen Stanley. 
Biotobo, Buookltn, Hattnbb, Maich I. 

Making her entrance wearing a pretty evening 
gown of pink over white, with a handsome white 
silk coat and white lace cap, for "This Is tbe 
Life," Mum Stanley won her audience at this 
house at once. "1 Do" followed, without coat, 
and went big. "That Isn't What He Said" was 
another good one, Then Miss Stanley, with the 
assistance of a chair, put over a parody on "Get 
Out and Get Under," alternately la JewlBh and 
Irish dialect, and It was a real big bit for her. 
For an encore this clever young lady ottered "Sal- 
vation Nell," In wblcb alio worked up s lot of 
good business, and scored a great success. 

Mils Stanley Is a tall, shapely, and attractive 
young lady who lias the dexterity of knowing 
how to put a number over. Twelve minutes. In 
one. Bit.

Dresser, Wallace and Company, la 
"In WatsonvlIIe." 

Pbootob'b 120th Stbbxt, Feu. 27. 

Tho plot of this comedy sketch deals with ths 
desires of one Percy Hastings, a rural dude, to 
eecuro a "city gal" for a wife, so he puts a 
matrimonial advertisement In a New York 
paper, and Helen Hargrave Brown applies and Is 
advanced raldroad fare. 

Tho action passes la Robert Stevens' law office 
In Wotsonvllle, a small country town, and hers 
Percy discloses his plan to tbo lawyer. In short, 
Helen arrives, falls immediately In love wltb the 
lawyer, and Percy Is the goat. 

The Idea Is weak and, although Frederick Wal- 
lace and Edward Dresser do west Is poasiblo la 
Iho ruba and lawyer roles, respectively, Ibey 
cannot hope for better than threc-a-day. Mary 
Walk played Helen. Thirteen minutes. Toil.

Fern* One looking fellows doing a grout singing 
act. They open with "Vlrgbilo," which roes over 
■well. "OR With the Old Love. On With the 
Now," by one member, was very good. A medley 
of popular numbers follows by all four Is a go. 
"Would You Tuko Mo Buck Again T" by oue iron, 
goes over flue. They end with "Dixieland" and) 
"Obcvunenke Bay." 

The High Life "4" are as clever a quartet as 

any In vaudeville to-dny. They all have One 

voices, and know how to put numbers over, and 

best of nil Ibey bamioiilrc. The boys weur neat 

business suits of one color and style. The art la 

classy, and one that Is bound to go. Running

Dan Hn rite's Womler Glrla. 
- Psocron's 125th STBBsr, Feb. 27. 

Be-appesrlng locally with the same running of 
the act as when It wss first reviewed In 1010, 
but featuring Jack Dempaey, a comedian and soft 
shoe dancer. Baa Burke's girls found a warm 
spot with the attendance on above date. 

Dcmneey works with an air of confidence, with 
a revival of past performances, but his person- 
ality makes It get by strongly. The numbers of 
the girls need rearranging. They are a lively 
half dozen pretty girls, and with newer songs and 
costumes would overcome that handicap. The 
numbers with the bells concealed in a fence be- 
fore the lake drop, ts retained and the girls play- 
ing the "bells" with their feet while lying on 
their backs, helps out nicely. The baseball bit 
could bo worked up much stronger, thoush an- 
other might substitute it with better results. 
Nineteen minutes, full stage. Toi.

Bertha Kullch. 

Palace, Mondai Evenino, March 2. 

Presenting a condensed version of "Marlunn," 
Berths Kallch made her uret appearance at this 
hoaso Monday, March 2, and was little short 
of a sensation. Her selection of a sketch for bcr 
Initial performance bare lias bten well choFen. 
Her company Is good and lend her excellent sup- 
port. In tho character of Mnrlana, a reveu^eful 
wife. Miss K nil ell has seldom been seen to 
greater advantage. Her acting was at times vesy 
forceful, ond showed oft her talent to perfection. 

Chief among her enpport is Frank Andrews ond 

John ElaTrlngton, both men acting their character* 

In a convincing manner. Tbo act runs stiout 

thirty minutes, on full stage. Jack.

Palaob, Monday K.vbnino, Mabch 2. 

Mnk-'ng a new tram In vaudeville thla clever 
pair made their first New York anpes ranee to- 
gether and presented one of tho roost entertaining 
acts of this kind ever given In this bouse. Songs 
sad dancing form the foundation of their per- 
formance, and as both have been commented 
upon In these columns many times, It only re- 
mains to be said that both duplicated tbe success 
that has always attended tbclr efforts In this 
city. A new rong. Introduced by Mr. White, en- 
titled "Push It Along," sounds like one of Iboas 
quick lire kind, and went over with a bang. The 
act reus about eighteen minutes. Jack.

The men ore a clever duo la their special line, 
and the woman. In a maid part, knte-Iengtb

ONE PIANO MAKES A THEATRE. 

City Treasurer Wm, MoOoach, of Phila- 
delphia, recently sent out an order. Baying 
every public place having one or more pianos, 
must have a theatrical license costing $600. 
This would not only apply to the cafes, but 
means that songs can not be demonstrated 
in moving picture bouses, department stores 
nnil five ond ten cent stores. This means a 
temporary, if not permannt stop to music 
plugging.

SUBS CITY. 
(SfecM wire to Tub Outrxa.) 

Ouicaoo, Moreh 3. 
Two inlts aggregating 100,000 for alleged dum- 
eges, were died ln the Federal Court here today, 
by Ed. L. Drew, of Bailey A Drew, owners at 
"The Traffic," the much discussed play that litis 
Just completed a four months' run ln Chicago, 
and by Colonel Bill Thompson, leasee and mana- 
ger of the Waukegin Opera House, against Mayor 
Bedlnger, the Aldermen, and the Olty of Wnu- 
kegan. The snlt grows out of Mayor Bedlnger a 
stopping of "Tbe Traffic" from playing In that 
city, and the complainants, each of whom aska 
for $26,000 damages, aaaert that tbe mayor, who 
never saw the play, described it to tbe Oouncll 
In a manner, false, misleading, and defamatory 
to the property and to those interested ln pre- 
senting tho drama. Several small town officials 
have already Interfered with "Tbe Traffic," and 
tbe objectors have In every case been individual' 
who linvc never witnessed too performance. "I'ctty 

Solltles, local fends, and hysterical reform fad- 
lata," says Manager Drew, "bare In each case 
given as trouble. Hereafter we will fight thla 
kind of Injustice ln tbe Federal Courts. Neve.- 
again will we submit to bave our property and 
Ita owners slandered and Injured by false reports 
and provincial bigotry. 'The Traffic' has had no 
opposition In the larger cities towns towns. Three 
companies are now en tout- In this play."

Heck the Washington Heighten just salamed 
to their melodies like little George did in 
the woodshed trick, and now the trio has 
been chosen as the added attraction of the 
Broadway Girls, at Hurtlg & Seamon'a The- 
atre next week. 

More Doctor Bills. 

Carrie Lille, "the personality lass," has 
been adding more wealth to a certain Bronx 
physician's bank roll. She was taken HI and 
forced to cancel route and return for another 
spell of Illness at her new One Hundred 
and Fifty-sixth Street home, two weeks ago. 
But she's comln' around slowly now under 
the careful eye of her "mommer." 
Twenty-five Years Old. 

Proctor's Twenty-third Street Theatre will 
celebrate "her" twenty-fifth birthday on 
Thursday, March 5, and the way Manager 
Frank McCune Is smiling this week ouo 
would think he was "her" father. Bless his 
little heart. 

Joe Remington Still Bony. 

Joseph Remington and his company, pre- 
senting "The Millinery Salesman," comedy 
sketch, will open on the Pontages time In 
Winnipeg, Can., March 23. 

Albert and Rosella Dne. 

'Albert and Rozclla are doe to be looking 
over He metropolis In the near future. In 
a few lines recently received, dated Mel- 
bourne, Victoria. Auk.. Jan. 20, they expect- 
ed to "sail for home" Feb. 7, on the T. 8. 8. 
Sonoma. They were playing a two weeks'

Nor. 11. They returned to South Australia 
after the Melbourne engagement for a re- 
turn date at the King's Theatre. !n Adelaide,

Hlnes and Fenton Split. 

After four years of partnership nines an<l 
Fenton "Stuffy and Sliver," mutually agreed

Help I 

Dear B. K. : 

According to the "all figured out for you" 
seals of salaries appearing in l'at Casey's 
IlullcUn. dated Feb. HI, I should be drawing 
down something equal to twenty cents un 
bour. (Somebody's cheating.) 

Them Were Happy Days. 

'Seeing Bert Roscnquest handling the as- 
sistant managerial reins down at the Four- 
teenth Street Theatre reminds me of when 
I went to skule with blm. Wo have both 
outgrown the lumps wo originated on one 
cuother's beds with Prof. Maxwell's Hlates, 
at least he has, for Bert is good to look 
upon, wile I — ah, don't laff, boys, the folks 
wui all out on the buty thing wen 1 blew In. 
But to git bak to Fourteenth Street. Bert 
teams to bo satisfied with his surrondlngs, 
for has be not got Jack Drlscoll still singing 
the ballards, and, by the way, Jack is set- 
ting thin. And then there's Harry Shea 
•tuning the bouse with pretty good shows 
•vrte few days without enybodle's help hut 
Harry Shea. 

Martin Shcan and Jimmy Flattery are 
featured as the "Keystone Caps" of the 
house, and the rest of the crew includes Leo 
Kenton, shelling out the stubs as treasurer ; 
Daniel Green, chief ushering; Louis Conroy 
and Daniel Rice, chief and assistant plcktur 
operators, and LunleL P. Pinto on the door, 
while Dick Kcrwln Is a ducedly devah stage

Boo Slated tor Seventeen. 

No. Doc O'Nell Is not slated "to do" seven-

a big girl act, which Is to be put nut by Jack 
Goldberg, of the Marcus Loew forces. 
' Lillian for London. 

Caught LUUan (Russell) Bradley, the 
Hondo beauty, gathering in dates at the U. 
B. O. headquarters one afternoon last week. 
Lillian's flno soprano voice made her one of 
the favorites of Jurdin de Danso during her 
engagement there, besides carrying ber to 
more recent triumphs In vaudeville. She has 
seen booked by M. S. Bentbam for extensive 
European engagements, and will hi herself 
Londonwards via the Olympiv on May 10 
■cat. . 

In the meantime she would be a welcome 
song feature of local variety bills, lust as 
she was on the benefit bill for the Hebrew 
Inlant Asylum at Uio Casino last Sunday

Burke's Girls In Town. 

Caught Dan Burke's Wonder Girls up In 
Harlem last week. Jack Dempeey, a hickory 
■ut comedian is featured in the present con- 
glomeration of song and frolic, and though 
there Is still a Holler girlie In the "girl" end 
•f it all, as when first seen here In 1010, 
alie is Dagmer Moller. The other live girlies 
surrounding Dempsey are: Ethel Stuart. 
Loans Sbaw, Cecil Von-Mason. Bvolyn Keam* 
and Catherine Brooks, all full of life and 
With shapely, musical-endowed limbs. 
One from Grayer. 

Grayco Connell, formerly Of Malson 
Jacques* "Cloak Models" act. In vaudeville, 
lut now filling a special dancing port with 
Ihe Anderson Gaiety Company's "Candy

flaying a one-nlghter recently sho became 
faint, and as a relief asked one of the stage 
lands If the town was dry. 

"N-n-no. Miss, not 'zactly dry we do bov 
■ shower now an' then.** 

Grayce later asked tho same theatrical 
magnate what "curtain" it was, and he wh ta- 
re red that ho thought it asbestos, but 
vouidn't chance testing It.

BURT AND MALVENE 

RAPID-FIRK VAUDEVILLE 

Innls' Eyes Dad. 

Wondered why Maude Ryan was unaccom- 
panied by "hub on Broadway ono afternoon 
last week, until I was pumped with the 
spoonful of unsatisfactory knowledge that 
"hub's'' eyes were in bad shape ana a rest 
was compulsory. 

Freddie's Crew' In Dancer. 

Freddie Becque, the coming impresario of 
the "movies," who runs feature picture shows 
In New City and Congers, N. Y., once each 
week, and his crew of Bob Hopper and Geo. 
Martllng camo near a catastrophe on tho 
way from the latter place night of Feb. 20, 
when their sleigh did a brodlc, and to or- 
ganization and feature picture, "Jerry's 
Mother-in-Law," were stuck Into the white 
etuff up to their Belmonts. 

They managed to lose no time scrambling 
to good breathing apace, and after lushing a 
telegram to Madeline, In Bay Ridge, that ho 
was still healthy and unharmed, Freddie and 
his assistants gilded on. He says bis illus- 
trated songs, sung by Columbia records, are 
setting 'cm up straight in New City and 
Congers. 

Last Week at the Fifth Avenue, 

Tho Meredith Sisters were on too early 
(No. 3) on the Fifth Avenue bill last week, 
but keeping tabs on the show Pearls ana 
Clara were ono of the pleasures of the en- 
tire entertainment. They made five classy 
changes, and besides continuing the "Hia- 
watha' number and special Indian set they 
used "Mandalny," "I've Never Been Kissed 
Before," "Hello, Wintertime," and a special 
Dutch number, all well rendered. They still 
have that taste for good clothes. 

Ted Lorraine and Hattle Burks sang and 
danced beautifully to a good reception. Joe 
Howard and charming Mabel McCane's mix- 
ture of sketch and song, and Miss McCane'S 
display of wonderful gowns, found them 
guilty of causing another small rumpus when 
They left 

I eat crullers like Vlollnsky Angers out 
that "Apache" Intermezzo on the piano (ask 
any one of "the girls" In Child's). Nuf sed. 
When Ward Johnstone tossed that half dol- 
lar over tho footlights for that "cafe pianist" 
finish of Vl's last Wednesday night I nearly 
dove out of as upstairs box. Vlollnsky got 
all that as coming and a few more bows 
that were. due. 

Gormloy and Caffery aro ono of tho best 
acrobatic pairs In their line, and were a great 
opener for the show. Tho black face Brown 
Brothers wcro good and funny when they 
danced on tho skates. "The I'lnno Movori" 
Is as well known as Edmond Hayes Is him- 
self, and Just as funny now as he and Tom 
Snyder always mado It In their respective 
roles, assisted cleverly by Marie Jansen. 
Herberts dogs nre up In the lead as an en- 
tertaining canine act, with that little loon- 
tho-loop terrier putting the fun to the beauty 
of the act. A good show, but hardly appre- 
ciated by the peculiar audience of Ola par- 
ticular evening. 

HarlenVa Cabarcters. 

Hurry your entry In for Tim Clipper's 
Bong writers' Contest and that tin cap, 
boys, to be held at the theatrical and novelty 
ball of the Dick Jess Association, at Burlaw! 
Casino, next Tuesday night, March 10. (I'm 
:oing to borrow an open faced Moe Levy If 
'm fortunate, so have your monocle on or I 
won't give you a tumble.) 

Business at the Alamo, on One Hundred) 
and Twcnty-Qfth Street, continues to boom 
along scrumptously, with Jo-Jo and Delancy 
end Hattle Harlowe as regular songsters, 
and Irving Daah casing out "those melodies.' 

Henrietta Hanson was featuring "Camp 
Meotln' Band" and "Let By-gonea Be By- 
gones," besides doing a bit at the piano, up 
at Nlemeycra', nrhflo Bstella Sanson was 
romping through with "Kiss Me, I've Never 
Been Kissed Before," "You've Got Your 
Mother's Big* Bine aye*." "Mandalny" and 
too "'Rover" numbers In Mg fashion. Busi- 
ness IS BO-BO, 

'Business at the College Inn appears to be 
most satisfactory. At least that's tho Im- 
pression the surroundings made on my 
bruised forehead last Thursday evening, Peb. 
20, when wo dropped In for a peek and 
listen. 

Paul Cunningham had Just finished silvery 
voicing "I'm Crying Just for You" and "Dan- 
cing Around," and both numbers went smash- 
ing well. And who were slanted at a table 
nearby but the two Sams, Lewis and Body. 
(Wonder what they did with that chicken 
they won at the Inn, en route for Bridge- 
port?) 

Corbett Shepherd and Donovan used 
"Rubens Tango HuikbV Bee" end "Dandna 
Around" to their usual big reception, ana 
Elmer Fleming, chick and peppery, eased 
over '^Chattanooga" in good form, while 
Dave Foi romped through two corking good 
parodies on "Why Do You Hang Around" 
and "Got Out tuid Get Under." 

Mery Bruce, a pretty young singer, with 
abundance of soprano voice, was then an- 
nounced as a special surprise, and the way 
eho warbled "Isle D'Amour" was worth all 
tbe way It was received. Joe Goodwin, of 
Leo Feist's shop, was In, but didn't uso 
"Ragtime Dream 7 ' or "You Broke My Heart 
to lass the Time Away" for the rest of our 
stay: although Mae Vincent helped the sleep 
melody that Joe didn't with "Dreaming, '■ 
and Abo rrankoi, at the piano, during a fol- 
lowing moment's rest, tried to pick into 
fond recollections with a few strains of "My 
Little Texas Queen," and didn't know we had 
his number. Abe is getting to bo a notori- 
ous favorite with Louis Wilson and Benny 
Levy's patrons, while last, but not least, 
Artie SfebbuuT Job of overseeing the dance 
floor and saving many lives from dipping 
tticroseves to the slippery tudeifaotlng. Is 
envied. 

Marie Hns Sla-ned. 

Marie URlette, the dainty and dating tra- 
peze artist, has signed with the Ocllmar 
Bros.* Shows for this season. 
Jake Worries. 

Jake I.ubln Is always ready for an earful 
of new music about what's going on In the 
theatrical world in general outside of Loow's

SEEING IS RELIEVING. 

The State Food Commissioner of Illinois, 
W. S. Miuttbcws, lion Arranged to co-opcrato 
with merchants and manufacturers awl moke 
a tour of the State under the aupplees of 
the Hoard of Health, In a big campaign for 
pure food. In addition to nn exhibit consist- 
ing of food, good, and bad properly or im- 
properly bandied, there will V shown sani- 
tary device* for food preparation la shops 
and In the home, The nig and vital feature 
of tbe campaign will be moving picture films 
showing graphically perils of the fly pest, 
proper and Improper methods of handling 
mlBc and other food products, the necessity 
(or clean, wholesome food supply, especially 
as a means toward safeguarding the health 
of children. Tho practicability of utilizing 
moving pictures in showing all these details 
Diss been amply demonstrated. Besides, it 
odds a new nest of Interest to tbe great new 
campaign for safeguarding public health. 
The industrial and educational value of mov- 
ing picture} is beginning more than ever bo- 
fore to be realized and applied for big re- 
sults in bettering the conditions of life. 

I/ondon is experiencing a moving picture 
revival of Scllg's great historical three reel 



film, "The Coming of Columbus." This big 
feature recently made A long tour through 
Australia. 



Mabel Tamapkmio, the heroine of Scllg's 
"('Indartlla,'' and her husband, Tom Carrl- 
gun, associated with many Hellg picture 
plnys, are both playing In Chicago now. 
Miss Taliaferro is playing with her sister, 
I'M I th at the Towers, in the satirical com- 
edy, "Young Wisdom;" while Mr. Carrlgau 
Is playing with Edith Wynne Matt bison, In 
"The Deadlock," at tho Howard. Both wero 
visitors last week at the Bellg studios. 

John J. McGbaw, the famous boseb.ill 
player, has been casting aspersions on tho 
llrltlsh army during tho tour of his "nine" 
abroad, and our revered Admiral Dewey has 
Iieen saying tome disagreeable things nbout 
I he German navy, so that wo are liable to 
pile up eorac international complications as 
the result of too much talking. . Why can't 
our heroes be rltlccnt, or If they really want 
to bo safe ; In other words, wordproof, let 
them get Into the silent drama. There Is a 
good picture, engagement open either for Mc- 
Cimw or Admiral Dewey 1 

Tim vogue of "The Adventures of Kath- 
lyn" has become so much of a habit with the 
patrons of tho merles that they cull 
lor it as they do for books at the public 
library. Tho usual experience has been that 
a picture onco given, passes along tbe lino 
until it roaches tho limit of Its activity 
described by the General Wlro Company. In 
the rase . of "Kabhiyn" however, theatres 
lime ttccn repeating roe various releases over 
and over. In conformity with request. A 
number of theatres are this week announcing 
they will bo giving tho drat and second Issues 
of tie Bcrlcs. This sneaks well for the per- 
petual popularity Of the greatest lnnovntlon 
as a business maker for picture exhibitors. 

RELEASES WEEK OF MARCH 15. 

"Tun Better Way." — The family physl- 
clan, who Is generally a better adviser than 
the lawyer, is called to settle a curious case, 
and nbout his very drastic decision, is woven , 

a thrilling and picturesque melodrama. Big HP ■E*?&3S WES ■Hart? J**" 
In two reels. Released March I^r. What a^glortoua tbJns; It will b» to.aea 



wCicre. and, in Little Rock the mayor gave 
him the key to the city. 

IIu-lby Holmes, the well known dramatic 
actor, has joined the Essanay Eastern 8 took 
Co. at Chicago. 

KLEINE POSITIVES. 

Tnnocon error George Klolne's new eight 
past, subject, '.'For Napoleon and France," 
was announced In the trade press as simply 
"Napoleon." The Kleine offices wish to ad- 
vise that tbe correct title Is "For Napoleon 
and France," and the subject will be ready 
for exhibition under that title next month. 

Archbishop HrAui.m no, of Quincy, 111., 
attended a performance of "Quo VadlsSV at 
that city recently. The archbishop informed 
the Kleine representative that it was tbe 
first time in twenty years that he bad been 
Inside of a theatre. ''I knew nothing of mo- 
tion pictures and their possible Influence 
on the community until I had seen "Quo 
Vndls?" said the archbishop. "As this is 
the first time I have l»een Inside a theatre In 
twenty years I could not be expected to 
know much of the new art. I was attracted 
in this case by tbe religious nature of the 
picture and by what I bad been reading of 
censorship boards, etc. Of course, I have 
seen motion pictures before at social afTalrs 
held by churches in my diocese." 

Quito a gathering of local newspaper men. 
Including representatives from the many Chi- 
cago newspapers that are now conducting 
motion picture departments and members of 
the trado press, saw George Klelne's "For 
Napoleon and Franco" at a private exhibition 
last Saturday. They were loud In their 
praise of the beautiful eight part Clnes 
Bubjcct. 

J. D, BtjTLFB, the famous Pacific Coast 
teacher and orator, used George Rlelne'j 
"The Last Days of Pompeii" as a subject lor 
a lecture before a convention of professors 
and teachers at Olympta, Wash., fast week. 
Butler dwelt at grcnt length upon the edu- 
cational features of "Pompeii," and dis- 
cussed the splendid powers of the subject in 
eradicating previous mental pictures of tbe 
stricken city and supplanting in their placo 
I ho producer's own ideas of the civilization 
of the times and the physical appearances of 
streets, buildings, costumes, etc. It was 
from this angle, declared the lecturer, that 
the plcturo reached Its highest usefulness 
rather than from tho standpoint of story or 
moral.

ESSANAY CLOSE-UPS, 

Thanks to tho return of the real, unadul- 
terated California sunshine, which has this 
year taken oue of the longest vacations since 
wen the r bureau records were kept, Q. M. 
Anderson hits this past week chalked up 
another Potlllc Const record In the making 
of pictures. In tho studio at Nlles, and up 
In the canyon adjacent, ho produced and 
made six complete stories In seven days. 
This takes no account of tho work of other 
directors and producers at tho same studio. 
The record belongs to "Broncho Billy" alone. 
Mr.- Anderson is now adding to his arduous 
work the production of more elaborate pic- 
tures — subjects that will compare In every 
detail .With those with which the most finely 
quipped of IQastern studios are associated. 



our old friend, Teddy Itoosovelt, step out of

COLONEL CODY (BUFFALO DILL) Ai>- 

URESSEB 'i III'.' OoVBTlr* JIENT CLUB 
IN WASHINGTON, D. 0. 

In first offering his great historical pic- 
tures of the "Indian Ware for Civilization" 
for public approval, Colonel Cody, "Buffalo 
Bill," and his associates were honored by a 
I'j'i-i-lul invitation to present them before the 
members of the Government Home Club at 
.Washington, D.\ C, on Thursday evening, 
l'"eb. 26. 

Tho distinguished scout said: "My object 
and desire has been to preserve history by 
the aid of the camera with us many of the 
living participants In the closing Indian 
wars of North America as could bo procured. 
It Is something that .has never been done 
before ; that Is, to preserve our old wars for 
future generations by living or moving pic- 
tures. 

"I first broached this subject to Secretary 
of War Llndley M. Garrison and Bccrctnry 
of the Interior Franklin K. Lane, and they 
epproved of taking these remarkable pc- 
tures, provided they could be made historic- 
aly correct, and would tell tho story of the 
old Indian wars and the progress of the In- 
dian from the days of savagery up to the 
present time. Secretary Garrison gave me 

Jiermtsslon to use the United Btntcs troops 
or this expedition, and Secretary Lane au- 
thorised tho mobilization of the Indians 
necessary for the purpose. 

"Then I looked around and found na runny 
of the old rime arm; officers as ore now 
living, who had actually participated In thoso 
campaigns and events that occurred twenty- 
live to forty years ago, and I finally succeeded 
to trotting them to agreo to appear In repro- 
duolug these battles with the aid of the 
modern camera, true to life and history. My 
efforts were rewarded In securing such men 
as General Nelson A. Miles, General Jesse M. 
Lee, General Frank 1). Baldwin, General 
Morton P. Mnus, General Charles KlDg and 
Colonel H. G. Sickles, now colonel of the 
'Xwelf th U. S. Cavalry. These men, of course, 
were then younger, and with less rank than 
they have nt the present. 

"Wo then proceeded to tho Pine Bldge 
Agency, In South Dakota, where the last 
Indian battles were fought end there took 
the pictures of the campaign of 1800 and 
1801, known as the Ghost Dance or Messina 
Crase War, wiloh Included tho capturo of 
Chief Big Foot and Ids followers, Dec. 28; 
the Battle of Wounded Knee Dec. 2D, under 
command of General James Win, Forsyth, 
with the Seventh Cavalry ; and the Battle 
of the Mission Dec. 80, 1800, where General 
Guy V. Henry went to tho relief of the 
Seventh Cavalry. Wo also took other battles, 
namely: "The Battle of Summit Springs," 
■wCiich was fought on June 11, 1800, on the 
Eastern borders of Colorado, under command 
of General Eugene A. Carr, and the battle 
' known as Warbonnct Creek, fought on July 
17, 1876, under command of General Wesley 
Merritt General Charles King was at that 
time tho Adjutant of tho .Fifoa Cavalry, and 
It was that organization which fought tho 
Indians at the battle of Warbonnct Creek. 

"We were six or seven weeks taking the 
pictures of these different battles. The pic- 
tures are made much more interesting and 
valuable because of the faot that they can- 
not be again reproduced, as the same men, 
not only the army officers, but a great many 
of tho old time Indians who originally par- 
ticipated In these engagements, are growing 
too old to ever again appear In a reproduc- 
tion of these scenes and Incidents. Several 
of the original participants have died since 
these reproductions were staged a few months 
ago. , Consequently tho pictures will be as 
valuable a hundred years from now for tho 
entertainment and enlightenment of future 
generations as they ore to-day. And It was 
only by hhe aid or tho perfected camera that 
these scenes could be taken and perpetuated 
for future generations. 

"There will be a sot of these reels, cover- 
ing over seven miles of dims, placed In the 
archive* of the War Department and also In 
the Interior Department, to be kept for fu- 
ture use and educational purposes.'

Charles loves the fairies with all tbo nrdor 
of his poetic soul, and In spite of Jls rags 
and misery the ethereal creatures bring him 
solace; while Mrs. MocMlrhe. with ber sor- 
did soul and Iron heart, to whom the fairies 
ere fiends, llws In pathetic terror of their 
power. Charles meets and loves Juliet, into 
whose eyes God forgot to put the light, and 
the fairies, who only come when tho heart Is 
so full that It cannot speak, manifest them- 
selves to too happy young lovers In a my- 
riad ways. Upon the death of Lord Colln- 
ton, Charles becomes heir to bis title nnd 
fortune, and takes a pitiful and tender fare- 
well of Juliet, promising to Toturrt w'jon he 
is old enough to make her bis Lady Collnton. 

With the lapse of years and' the possession 
of power Charles forgets the fairies and 
Juliet, and becomes a snobl Jullct'B heart 
calls to blm through tho distance and the 
darkness, but her prayer Is In vain. Mean- 
lime, Love and Sympathy have entered the 
heart of Mrs. MacMlche. and -fn Charles' ab- 
sence she realizes that she loves him. Faith 
conquers fear, and her hate of the fairies Is 
dispelled. Through her longing for Charles 
she becomes seriously 111, and dispatches n 
servant to ask htm to como to her, I,ord 
Collnton spurns the plea, and later becomes 
engaged to the famous Lady Rosalind — "a 
very distinguished match I" Ills conscience, 
sjmbotizod In the form of the Little Chnrlcs 
of Long Ago, accuses Lord Collnton of his 
perfidy, and in contempt leaves his body. 
Mrs. Mac-MIehc's Illness becomes nggrnvatcd. 
and tho doctor informs Lord Collnton that 
unless she sees him she will die of a broken 
heart, and this .time he deigns to visit her. 
Ills old aunt and Juliet arc staggered by the 
rod transformation In him. As he is nbout 
to leave he house his Conscience confronts 
him and battles with his worse self for su- 
premacy. Ills soul .triumphs, and the spirit 
of (the Old Charles returns. lie denounces 
and renounces the snobs who accompanied 
liitn on his visit, nnd tells them with dra- 
matic simplicity that he has seen the light 
end has learned wisdom I 

There Is a tender reunion between himself 
and Juliet, and they live happy forever and 
ever.

detail in the matter of producing nod direct- 
ing Is noticed throughout.

iilcturo limine. "You may quote me aa say- 
ing that Mr. Proctor !• well satisfied with 
vaudeville aa an attraction at present, and! 
contemplate)) nuking no elmugu.H whatso- 
ever." 

It t!iu paper that reported thla intent piece 
of dream news keeps on printing "amusing" 
notices of this sort, It will surely be entitled) 
to to called "an amusement Journal."

CHILDREN'S WELFARE LEAGUE, OF 
BOSTON, REPORTS. 
Tho Children's Welfare League, of Rox- 
bury, has made an investigation covering a 
iierlud of eleven weeks, of tho motion picture 
houses in that section, ami the il ml I huh 
would seem to Indicate that twenty per cent, 
of tho pictures aro unfit. All told, four hun- 
dred and fifty films were examined by niem- 
i.-i.rs of the Reform Committee, and nlniMj- 
two were found to be objectionable lu tlirlr 
eyes, It. S. Thompson is the secretary of Mm 
League, and In a statement declared that 
the Welfare Association had tried not to bo 
prudish In their Judgment of the movies. 
With one bunch of reform advocates shout- 
ing loudly lu favor of pictures of tho "white 



slave" type, and another crowd noisily clam- 
oring to manage a business of which they 
apparently know so little,. coupled with the 
activities of tho various appointed and self- 
appointed censors throughout tho country, 
the motion picture industry should becomo 
quite high-brow, providing there Is anything 
left of It when tho muck-rakers got through.

8, whon tho convention of the association 
till bo held at the Grand Central Palace, 
New York. Among several matters of Im- 
portance discussed was tho question of now

Smith, of Schenectady, made a motion, sec- 
onded by Mr. HopfiueUter. of Buffalo, de- 
claring for tbe national censor board rather 
than State censorship. The next meeting 
will bo held Juno 8.

gument to convince tho legislators of the

Majob FuNKiiAuSHu condemned last week 
"Uow Mosha Came Back" and "Partners," 
two motion pictures In which it is claimed 
tbe Jewish and Irish races wore held up to 
ridicule, Tho Amusement Protective League 
has been formed In Chicago to combat ridicu- 
lous, harsh aal unjust censorship of pictures. 
We wish them luck. They will need It, anil 
they surely deserve It If half of the reports 
from the Windy City are true regarding aim 
conditions out there. 

Wai.tbr W. (Iiibunb, long Identified with

well as tbe owner of a circuit of motion pic- 
ture theatres down 'Blast, opened a feature 
111m sales tinslness, under the name of 
Greene's Feature Photoplays, Inc. His fea- 
tures will not be exclusively of one brand, as 
It Is (Mr. Greeno's Idea that he would rather 
pick the specifically excellent features In- 
ftead of contracting to take all of this or 
that manufacturer's output, which would 
sometimes coerce him In releasing Alms of 
lesser merit. Tho first release will be "Vam- 
pires of tbo .Night," In five roelo. As Is nat- 
ural to suppose, Mr. Greene has not put bla 
weakest foot forward in beginning his cam- 
paign, as this featuro Is Justifiably expected 
to Indicate tho quality of Groeno's releases. 

Onk of the situations In "The Reform Can- 
didate," a three reel Majestic, held n crowd 
In tho business section of Los Angeles In

room on tho tenth floor. In a large office 
building. Crawling out of the window on 
the tenth floor she gets a foothold In the 
ercvico of tho cornice of the building, hold- 
ing on for dear life. . However .she reached 
I'.er destination in safety. The girl's perilous 
feat was greeted with thundoroun cheers, 
but many a person heaved a sigh of relief 
when it was seen that she was out of danger. 
Lamar Johnson, the leading woman, waa 
white as a sheet. "The Stronger Hand," a 
two reel Majestic, by John Burkv, Is being 
produced under tho direction of Albert Hale, 
with Ernest Joy. Eugene Palletle and BlIHs

Isn't anyone who can truthfully say that ho

going to Journey to Burland Caclno, Pros- 
pect and Weatohester Avenues, Bronx, next 
Tuesday evening, March 10, and gaze at tbo 
greatest event ever held In tho world of 
theatricals, either In the past or present. 
All Writers Expect to Win. 

As before some Important contest both 
sides ere confident of carrying off the honors, 
so Is it with the writers entered In this con- 
test. Bach and every one who ban signified 
his Intention of making a supreme effort to 
beat the rest is confident that ho will be re- 
turned tho winner of the cup and the cham- 
pionship of America. With tho great amount 
of confidence emitted by each entry It Is a 
foregone conclusion that Napoleon's great 
fight ait Waterloo will appear as a sham 
battle in comparison with the struggle that 
will be made for Tiin Clippeh Cup next Tues- 
day evening at the affair of tbe Dkk Jess 
Association. 

Cup a Beautiful Trophy. 

The cnp which will be presented to tbe 
winner is perhaps tbe moat beautiful and 
artistic loving cup that has ever been given 
as a prize at a song contest. The cup waa 
(specially designed and engraved for Tub 
Ci.ii'1'eh by the Queen City Silver Company, 
of Cincinnati, O. No words nor camera ran 
describe tbe wonderful prize. The cup Is 
sixteen inches in height, gold lined, and has 
three French gray handles. It Is a tropby 
i well worth trying for, as with it goes tbo 
title of Champion of America and an amount 
of prestige to the winning bomb that could 
not be nought for ten thousand dollars. 
While talking of the cup we print for tho 
last time, and for those who have heretofore 
paid uo attention, tbo 

Boles Governing; Contest. 

The contest will start promptly at 10 p. 

Every contestant must be in tbo ball

hall with chorus slips of songs being used by 
the contestants, 
i For the benefit of those who have not their* 
own pianist, Melville Morris has been selected 
•6 the official pianist for the contest. 
PROMINENT MEN AS JUDGES. 

Five solemn, silent men, who are promi- 
nent In tie theatrical world, with the writer 
as chairman and deciding member, will act 
as Judges of tho contest. Each man is known 
for his impartiality, sense of fairness, and 
for his known Judgement In rendering de- 
cisions that will meet with the approval 
of all concerned. Bach Judge will he fur- 
nished with a ballot upon which it printed 
the contestanti name, and wjt-n the last 
entry has finished his song they will select 
the winner In accordance with the rule« 

foveming tho contest. After the Judges 
nvo announced their decision tho members 
of (he Dick Jess Association will furnish 



yea's motion picture roan, has received prom- 
ise of every member of the Screen Club that 
they will be there in. a body. Managers of 
all city bouses have advised the committee 
that they will appear with their entire show. 
All tills but foreshadows the wonderful suc- 
cess that the contest and ball will be. 
A Treat for "Movie" Fans. 
The "movie" fans, as well as those whoso 
tastes run to the theatrical end, will all 
nave their Inning at this affair. A treat Is 
in store for those who admire the "movie" 
stars. By a wonderful piece of good for- 
tune, combined with some hard work, the 
association has obtained tho consent of 
Norma Phillips, "The Mutual Girl," to lend 
the grand march along with ono of the mnto 
stars of the film world. This Is indeed a 
treat for the fans, as it will give them the 
opportunity of studying "Tbe Mutual Qlrl" 
herself and tbe wonderful gowns she is now 
exhibiting at clote range. Other celebrities 
will vie for favor with Miss Phillips, among 
whom will be Mary Plckford, Lillian Walker. 
Alice Joyce, Anita Btewnrt, Miriam Ncsbltt, 
Billy Quirk, John Bonny, Irving Cummlngs 
and others of equal prominence. 

GBAND MARCH A FEATUBE. 
'Another novel feature of the hall will bo 
the grand march. Favorable criticism has 
been received from s tlio newspapers by other 
associations for tie intricate formations of 
tlieir marches. Tbe grand march at tbe af- 
fair or the Dick Jess Association will bo a 
distinct departure from tbo old style. It 
has been named the "Tango Grand March," 
and Floor Manager Harry Rogers has prom- 
ised to surprise everyone present by showing 
evolutions that heretofore have never been 
conceived nor attempted; and wdlch will be 
tho talk of the evening. Don't forget next 
Tuesday night. The cup is now on exhibi-

without a bit I am going back to the dnys 
of 'I'd Lcavo My Happy Homo for You' and 
'When the Harvest Hoys Aro Over, Jessie 
Dear.' And be was writing bits for ten years 
before I met him. 

"He has written waits songs, rag numbers 
and ballads of overy description, and after 
all these years of catering to the public 
taate he crowns all this success by writing 
a scml-lilgb class ballad, 'Last Night Was 
the End of tho Work!,' a tremendous bit

''Hero It Is: 'Do You Know That Bong

"That's a very true statement with a 
capital question mark, and on tho other hand 
there Is nut a bit of truth In It. 

"Judging from tbo 'popular songs' we henr 
nowadays (especially lyrics), one could In- 
elnntly make up Ids mind that 'song writers' 
are made and not born. 

"I had a doublo act como to mo tlio other 
week and loft an order to lie written to mi 
already popular melody, as they told mo they 
liked tbo tune, but wero ashamed to uso the 
words. 

"This particular caso and the abovo par- 
ticular sentence caused you the trouble of 
rending this long, pestv lotter. Hoping tlint 
'song wrltera' will start using the word

SOME AIJVEHTISIXtl. 

F. A. Mills thinks so well of "Compli- 
mentary Band" and "She's Dancing Ili-r 
Heart Away," tho two lotcst songs of b, 
Wolfe Gilbert and Lewis V. Mulr, thnt ho 
Is expending aomcfMng over fifteen thousand 
dollars in advertising these numbers, a de- 
parture never before attempted by a music 
publisher. 

He has a forco of twenty peoplo employed 



anil "On tho Hunks of Lnvollght Bar." 

A card Just rccolvod from Allan Summers 
from Los Angeles, t.'ul., states that bu has 
been very successful wllh several llotsller 
numbers and bus been going steady tlneo 
last September. 

Bob Dally Is now manager nt Upton's Old 
Stylo Inn, Chicago, and Is also lining his 
wliiire In tlio entertainment department. 
"Just for To-Nlght," bo declares, Is tlio big- 
gest hit ho hns sung In years. 

The Troy Comedy Knur have an excellent. 
closing number In "Bring Mo Back My Lovlu' 
Honey Boy." 

Nonet to, the singing violinist, Is delighted 
with tlio cucoro propensities of "On tho 
Bsnks of I.nvc-llglit Bay." 

Mne Curtis and Myrtlo ilelmrd aro enjoy- 
ing great song prosperity With "Tho Minstrel

"I Think I'll On Out on a Strike" Is prov- 
ing n rollicking comedy number for Tranklyn

Emma Weston, now featured In Chlengn 
neighborhood theatres, Is singing "The Min- 
strel Show Pnrsds," "You Were All I Had" 
and "On tbe Banks of Lovelight Bay." 

FROM THE COAST. 

The Southern California Music Co., of Los 
Angeles, Who made "Casey Jones" famous the 
world over, announces the rolcnao of another 
wlnnor, and predicts to break all tlio records 
of tho famous hit 

It's title, "That Million Dollar Band,'' 

?lves Just an Idea of what can ho expected of

FORCE. 



A silly rumor went the rounds last week 
when it became known that Goo. W. Meyer 
had resigned from tbo firm, of the Geo. W". 
Meyer Mualc Company, that they were out 
of business. 

Maurice Richmond, tbe president of tbe 
company, denies that tho firm has any inten- 
tions of discontinuing tie business. Under 
his management the Geo. W. Meyer Company 
has, in a few years, taken Its place among 
tho leaders, and it seems absurd to think 
that a well established firm should close its 
doors on account of several of its writers 
resigning. 

It is Mr. Richmond's Intention to broaden 
tho field that be entered several years back, 
nnd make tbe Geo. W. Meyer Company one 
of the largest publishing bouses in tbe 
country. 

He wBl shortly enlarge his staff, having 
already In view several of tho best known 
boys In the music game. He will also accept 
compositions of all writers, as be does not 
intend to sign up with any composers. 

"Across the Great Divide," which is the 
feature song at tbe present time, Is showing 
up wonderfully, ana Mr. Richmond looks 
forward to It being one of the best songs 
published in years. 

He bas started an outside advertising 
campaign tbat should prove beneficial to all 
performers featuring this song. 

KENTJIS RETURNS. 

Jimmy Kcndls returned last week from • 
trip that took him as far as Buffalo, and 
found that his two latest numbers, "Tbo

PHILADELPHIA OFFICES. 

As was announced several weeks ago In 
this column, tho Broaday Muslo Comiuiny 
open a branch office, la Philadelphia Mon- 
day. (Murray Whitman, who was formerly 
connected with tbe Geo. W, Meyer Music 
Company, will bo hi charge. 

The opening of this new office It In line 
with tbo Idea Mr. Von Tllzer started some 
time ago in announcing that he Intends to 
open offices in all tbe principal cities. 

Mr. Whlteman is one of the best known 
boys In tho music game and should prove a 
worthy manager of this new branch. 
THE CLEAN.UP BOYS. 

Nat Vincent and Charley Morbus, the boys 
who look after the burlcsquo and small time 
acts for tbe Broadway Music Co., seem to 
have tho knack of convincing shows and acts 
that their songs are tbe goods. 

There hasn't been a show Into tbe Co- 
lumbia Theatre, New York, In the past twenty 
weeks that didn't have a number of theirs, 
end mado It a feature, at that 

Both boys are so well known and have 
such a fine personality tbat they find It llttlo 
trouble lo placing their songs. 

HAVTLAND GOING UP. 

The F. B. Havliand Music Co. will shortly 
move uptown to larger quartors. Mr. Havl- 
iand recently signed several well known 
writers, and expects to get into the game on 
a much larger scale. 

FORSTER AGAIN IN NEW YORK. 

F. J. A. Forster, tbe Chicago publisher, 
Who gave up bis New York office some time 



.. the strength of getting this new ap- 
pointment Moe has had a desk set In the 
centre of the offices, and already has a sign 
reading Moe Kleemtn. with a blank spaco 
after the name for the caption. 
GILLEN LOOKING FOR CO-WHITIDIl. 

Frank Glllen. who was connected wltb tlio 
Theodore Morse Music Co. some tlmo ego, 
Is on the scent for a good lyric writer. To 
Introduce Frank I would say that he Is the 
boy wbo wrote Blnnoho Ring's successful 
song in her latest production, "When 
Claudia Smile*," entitled "It They On'y 
Move Old Ireland Over Here." _ 

Frank is now located at tho Fulton Thea- 
tre In Brooklyn, N. Y. 

LEW DnOWN A WINNER. 

Lew Brown, who bat over fifty successful 
songs to his credit, won the aong contest at 
Ixxnv's Avenue B Theatre last week under 
tho greatest opposition that bas over boon 
given a writer. Unannounced, Low went on 
with his latest song, "Kvcryone in Town 
Lovos My Ulrl," and took so much applanse 
cvor his original way la putting over a aong 
that tbere was nothing to it but to award 
blm the cup. 

Lew bas entered into more than a dozen 
contests and has never failed to land In the 
money. 

He Is also entered In Tim Ci.irrrn'a song 
contest, and says b» will surely lift that cup. 
HOME HERO. 

Billy Day, one of tho boys connnectcd with 
the Boston ofllco of Loo Feist, Inc., is one 
of the heroes of tbe city. Here Is the story : 
A serious panic among a thousand or more

ment.

Tub Trevors 1b another set that has learned 
a lesson through experience. This act was boohed 
in the Crown Theatre, Chicago, recently, and 
after arriving at the theatre was closed. The 
cause for this was that It was Impossible to 
handle the paraphernalia necessary for the act to 
work, as tho stsge manager had just come out of 
the hospital after a severe Illness and was nnable 
to lift the heavy rigging. The Trevors now 
carry an extra man so that an accident like this 
will not occur again.

mit a show of this nature to play there. Ar- 
rangements were made to play Decatur again, and 
the business amounted to $1,200 this time, where 
it was $300 tho drat time. On Saturday, censor- 
ship caused the show to negotiate for another 
date nut of somo ether town back Into Decatur, 
playing tho matlme and ulnrlit to $1,000 worth of

brought by Charles Perkins, who bad been a mem- 
ber of her company. Miss Russell plsyed Kansas 
City recently, and was compelled to dlscbn.-c* 
Perkins, paying him full salary and bringing him 
back to Chicago. While playing the Colonial 
Theatre, Perkins attached her for salary covering 
the two weeks' notice. The case came up in 
court last week and was dlcposetl of with a 
victory in favor of Miss Russell. 

In a 10NAWAT accident In nibbing, Minn., 
last week Halton Powell proved himself as much 
of a hero an any part In melodroma calls for. He 
traveled to nibbing with bis "A Nhrht on Broad- 
way," and with a female member of the tab com- 
pany entered a bns. Tho horses took fright and 
ran away. Mr. Powell had plenty of opportunity 
to jump before the horses attained high speed 
out he gamely stuck: to the young woman, doing 
all in his power to protect her. The team collided 
with a telephone pole and both horses were 
killed and the vehicle deuiollabed. Both V.r. 
Powell and the young woman wero rendered on- 
oonsclons but neither was hurt badly.

loving people In these and other towns suburban 
to Chicago Tlslt the clrcoses when playing Chi- 
cago Ooliaetun and lota located In various nafts 
of the city. Bach Is not the case, Joe. I have 
talked with people In -these and other scow towns 
near Chicago and tiiey all tell dm that while the 
loop theatres In Chicago secure a good deal of 
suburban business, Tery few people patroiUe the 
Bint-line Show at the Coliseum In the U-prlng or 
show* plsylng the. Chicago lots, and the eon- 
cenaa* of opinion la that If the circus managers 
want business from these towns and vicinity they 
must come after It with their amusement enter- 
prises and get It. 

There in another thing, Joe, that I know roa 
will take pains to make plain to the circus con- 
tracting agents as they Tlslt our Chicago office, 
and that Is they cannot plsy somewhere over In 
Illinois, make a Jump through Chicago yards and 
reach the town beyond Chicago In Incllnn'a or 
Michigan In time for exhibition, let alone In time 
for the parade. The railroads switching through 
Chicago yards pay no attention to contracts made 
with the circus contracting igenta, and tike their 
own time In switching through Chicago, rooking 
to the safety of the trains rather thin fist time 
Some of the circus managers have found this out 
to hhelr sorrow, and It is to he hoped the other 
shows will profit by the experience of circuses 
that hare been delayed this way. 

The reports I get, Joe, Indicate that great ac- 
tlrlty prevails In tbe Winter quarters of all the 
big shows. They nre all arranging for a big 
season, and all Tery optimistic, and It Is to be 
hoped that when the lnyentory of the season's 
business Is taken, about Not. IB, the ledger will 
show this to be the banner circus season of the 
twentieth century. Let us all hope so, Joe. Yours 
fraternally, W. A. Atkins.

TEXAS NOTES. 

The Gordon Hays Stock Company is one. 
of the now arrivals In tho Texus colony of 
tent shows. Gordon Is well known In Louis- 
iana, where he haB confined bis operations 
the past two seasons, and will undoubtedly 
get bis share of tho "Lone Star" Slate pat- 
ronage. Welcome to our midst, Gordon. 

Several over-Jealous county attorneys In 
Texas have enforced tho old "blue laws" to 
ihc extent that to buy anything on Sunday 
In the shape of tobacco, candy, etc., is Im- 
possible. Thespians, proporo for tlieso closed 
Sundays, as they are fierce, should you hap- 
pen to strike them. 

A conservative estimate will at last give 
tbe number of tent shown. Including carni- 
vals, repertoire and ono nlghters, In Tcxnn, 
as numbering close to fifty. From all reports 
they are all doing a good business. A partial 
list of tho attractions are as follows : Tho 
repertoire section includes the Harrison The- 
atre Co., Roy B. Fox's Players, Torbett and 
Bartlctt, Ciasc-Llster 'Southern Co., Gordon 
Hays Stack Co., Fred and Ethel Hays Thea- 
tre Co., Armotta A Pullcn's Comedians, Neff 
Theatre Co., Ward's Princess Stock Co., Wood 
& Bay Stock Co., Jennings Show, Tom Jen- 
nings' National Stock Co., Thomas Bros. Co., 
and Leo Blondin. The ono night attractions 
include several colored minstrel shows, In- 
cluding Jones' Alabama Minstrels, under tho 
management of C. L. Brickson,; Dark town 
Butterfly Minstrels, and Dana Thompson 
(Minstrels. Here's a tip for music publishers 
— anusic forme a big part of all these tent 
shows as they carry bond and orchestras 
consisting of from nine to eighteen men. 
The orchestra lender of the Harrison Theatre 
Co. B. J Redflcld recently informed mo 
that bis men were kept quite busy -ploying 
oirtsldo engagements, such, as receptions, 
dances, etc., and small wonder, as I liad tho 
pleasure of hearing somo of their programs, 
Which Included Llstz's "2d Hungarian Rbap- 
sody," "William Tell," etc. The Kritchfleld 
vaudeville show and Morodock A Watson's 
White Minstrels are also strong factors for 
Texas prftronoge. The circus section includes 
Adam Fetser. Geo. Lugl. J. H. Henry and 
Geo, Ely. All 'those. Including raony more, 
and the number of attractions Wintering 
here, make somo grand total, so tho show- 
man is well represented In the "Lono Star 
State." . . 

Wasn't that Anniversary issuo some clasa7 
I know a certain agent who missed a train 
(the only ono for twelve hours, too), so 
deeply engrossed In it was lie, but nary a 
worry did it cause him— -too good an excuse, 
eaycth he. . _ . 

Another, well known agent was heard to 
ask, after putting in a fow months in ths 
"Panhandle'' section of Texau, where the 
high winds constitute the most of tho scen- 
ery, why the managers of the tent "rep. 
shows didn't change the billing to "rip ns 
being much more appropriate. Doubtless bo 
referred to the condition of the top.

"Shooting the Bull" is being handed out very liberally in every line of 
business; in fact, it is amazing the amount of the SPANISH PASTIME 
that is being unloaded everywhere, particularly in the music business. 
It is a habit to rave about every song that is written- almost before 
it is even printed, It's 90 per cent, air and 10 per cent. fact. To be 
perfectly frank, we too, have "shot the bull." Luckily, though, so 
perfect was our aim, that we hit the bull's eye and landed HITS 
Galore! Now let us deal in PACTS! 







It is a fact, is it not, that in 1913 we handed you more real, live, 
honest-to-goodness hits than any other publisher in the business. 
We'll try and do it again this year, and believe we start off with ma- 
terial, TRIED and PROVEN, that will appeal to you as being WORTH 
WHILE, WORTH WHILE to put in your act, WORTH WHILE to 
feature. Send for them and be your own judge and jury as to their 
merit and value. Give them a fair look-over! Then write your own 
verdict. Here they are! Some of them are already hits, some are 
near-hits and some are hits to be. 



"YOU BROKE MY HEART TO PASS THE TIME AWAY." 
The Recititive Ballad with the Punch. By Joe Goodwin & Leo Wood 



"I'M ON MY WAY TO MANDALAY." 
The Successor of "Peg 'O My Heart." By Al. Bryan & Fred Fisher 



"RAGTIME DREAM." 
A "rag" song with an idea. By Joe Goodwin & Lew Brown 



"EVERY ONE IN TOWN LOVES MY GIRL." 
A "two-four" for opening or closing song. By Lew Brown & Nat Ayer 



"I'D STILL BELIEVE IN YOU." 
A new Ballad by the writer of "Curse of an Aching Heart." 



By Al. Piantadosi. 



"ON THE SHORES OF ITALY." 
If you sang "Dreamy Italian Waltz" get this new one. Great Patter. 

By Jack Glogau & Al. Piantadosi. 



We have cut out all the "raves;" all the "bull," all the publishers 
usual blather, and put it right up to you yourselves to decide whether 
or not the songs which we are submitting this season are "there" or 
not. GET THEM!

To Theatre Managers, 

Show Managers and Actors 

In my action against "SENATOR" FRANCIS HUBPHT and JEM BEDIM - 

Judge Ray, in the United States .District Court for the Northern District of New York, 
decided that my Monologues which were written for CUFF GOEDOfl, under the title 
"THE GERMAN SENATOR" and "THE GERMAN P0U11CIAN" were my original creations, 
and that I have valid copyrights therein: that the use of them by "Senator" Francis 
Murphy in Jean Bedini's show, "THE HI8CH1EFHAKEBS," was unlawful, and he awarded 
a judgment against them for $1,000 damages and $665. 7 8 costs and also a perpetual 
injunction restraining the reproduction, recital or use of my monologues or any imi- 
tation thereof. 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that I will hold responsible for the unlawful use of any 
of my material, not only the actor reciting the same, but the owner of the show 
and the manager of the theatre who permits the use thereof.

Dorothy Brennon, 
BaxtroiD, Bboosxtn, Fas. 25. 

Breaking to her act under tbe name of Dorothy 
Gordon, Mlaa Brennon offered one of the nest 
"singles" ever seen In this house. She lias a good 
selection of songs. 

For her entrance number, "Twentieth Century 
Rag," she won a tan broadcloth tailor made 
dress. "On the Stepa of the Great White Capi- 
tol," quickly followed, wben the change of dress 
mi made to • white spangled minaret gown la 
which Miss Bresson made a very pretty picture. 

For her next number, "Posh It Alone," she 
wore a handsome pink evening gown. The song 
went over finely, and captured the audience. 

Good taste was shown In the last number, a 
real "add" song. "But I'm Not Uolng To Tell 
What I Know*. Miss Brennon made a "cute 
kiddle." She entered, riding on the back of a 
big stuffed dog on wheels, which looted so life- 
like one almost expected to hear hltn bark. Tbe 
number went bbr, and reaped the reward of great 
applause. 

Mlaa Brennon has a fine net, a wonderful ward- 
robe, a voice of rich quality, unlimited talent, 
beauty, personality, and the knack of putting a 
number over. She should be on tbe big time. 

The act runs twelve minutes, in one. fill. 



Leatel Trio. 

Ftjltom, BbooKLIU, MattKXB, FBa. 24. 

Doing a clever eoaaedy and novelty bar set, this 
trio won the applause they deserved. 

Three men, one dressed as a woman, go throurh 
their tricks with ease. Their performance on 
the ban and then comedy are apod. It la not a 
new act, bat they work away from the usual run 
of thla style of work. They carry their own drop, 
representing the outalde of a dob bouse. Eight 
minutes, full stage. Bid.

Marnello U making his re-appearance In snd 
around New York, and is making a bigger suc- 
cess than be did on bis first appearance In this

popular selections, and he certainly can play 
those "Ivories," closing with "When It's Apple 
Blossom Time In Normandy," For an encore he 
often a popular number, never changing his voice, 
which Is a high soprano.

OMver-Ornnndo Troupe. 
Loan's Bxtbkth Avenue, Feb. 20. 

Thla troupe of six fine looking acrobatic chaps 
(sll having she appearance of being real native! 
of these United States) were the cleanup turn 
of Jake Labia's bill up In Harlem last hslt of 
last week. 

Ercry one of the half down, dres*d at this 
show In white athletic shirts, white flannel 
bloomers and black hose, appears equal to the 
mates in the art of wonderful tumbling, and 
there Is an air of speed about the entire act that 
made It one of the beat that has appeared In the 
"one" metro|»lls In many days. 

And there Is ability for comedy work In one or 
two of them that makes It all the better for en- 
joying. A olle-a-mlnute troupe of expert acro- 
bats. Six minutes, full stage. Tot.

Rush and Shlparo.- 

Loans'* SBTBlfTK AVXMTJB, Fib. 20. 

Plump straight and Hebrew comedian, Ihe latter 
working the character with but an over-fitting derby, 
without relying on the "prop" beard, etc. He 
has a giggle-making chuckle and a comic slide that 
he decs not overwork. 

Straight man Is a good worker, and baa per- 
sonality and enough of a singing voice, hut some- 
what plays out tbe face-slapping business. 

Then la speed and entertainment to all they 
offer, and they were one of the two tills of thl< 
bill. The comedian might substitute a newer num- 
ber for his solo for still stronger gouvr. He can 
get a number over nicely. Ten minutes, in one.

Never rub the dirt in 
— always wash it off 

When your face feels dusty and grimy 
there's a big temptation to rub the dirt 
off with your dry handkerchief. Never 
do this. 

This rubbing of the dirt and grime over jour 
■kin irritates it and destroys its texture. Instead 
of this way. which throws an unnecessary bur- 
den on the skin and tends to overtax it, u*c this 
specific cleansing:— 

Apply your hot washcloth, lathered with 
Woodbury's Facial Soap, for several minutes. 
When the pores are thoroughly open, rub in a 
fresh Woodbury lither. This dissolves the 
dirt and takes it out of the delicate pores with- 
out the slightest Irritation. Close the pores 
and arouse the circulation in your skin oy • 
cold water rinse. 

Use Woodbury's regularly. The 
formula for this famous facial soap 
Is the work of an authority on the 
■kin and its needs. It costs 25c a 
cake. No one hesitates at theprice 
after the first cake.

IIOYC'OTTING AUSTRALIAN ARTISTS! 

Hugh D. Mcintosh, governing director of the 
Tlvoll Theatre, said: 

"It Is absolute nonsense to talk of boycotting 
Australian nrtlsts. We are only too glad to get 
them It they are capable. In fact we are glad 
to get any good artists. It costs as £12 s week 
expenses for every performer we Import from 
abroad, In addition to the salary that Is paid 
after irrlval, and we have to pay them salaries 
at higher rites than the English pay. An act 
In which five artlsta are engaged will cost ns «0 
before they can be landed here, and as there Is 
an average of two and a halt fares for each act, 
upon that basis we'll have to pay for the next two 
and a halt years £30 a week for fares alone for 
each act." 

"Bat to talk about a purely Australian hill at 
the present time Is utter foolishness. It woold 
be as foolish to cry In England for a purely Eng- 
lish bill, or make a slmllsr local appeal In 
America. Variety Is wbst the public look for, 
and pay for, 

"Still, wo are encouraging, and will continue 
to encourage Australian artists. We have a very 
large number working ou our circuit, some or 
whom have been working for twelve or fourteen 
years, wthout a break. 

"A large number of Auatrsllans ot present on 
our circuit are artists, who have gone abroad to 
rain experience, and we have re-lmported them. I 
could mention half a doren who are with us now. 
We encourage our artists to go awty, because we 
think that experience In the older countries of tho 
world will be of immense value to them. 

"1 might mention Fred Bluett, for Instance. 
He was with us for over twelve years. Wj 
gave him a benefit, from which he got £300, and 
he went to England. I personally booked him In 
Ixmdon In tho best balls. I would arrange and 
reengage Mm to oppear here at four times his 
former salsry. And tbe same applies to Tom 
Dawson. It Is Impossible for any artist to de- 
velop and become a star In AuatralU. There srs 
numeroua laotonces of this fact. They must go 
nbrosd to gsln the necessary polish. 

"The Tlvoll bss been a training ground for 
Australian artists for years. And what of our 
own Friday trials, snd the competition* la Ade- 
laide and Melbourne?" 

Replying to other statements In the complaint, 
Mr. Mcintosh said he did not think there were 
five hundred vaudeville artists In Anstralla. 
There was no erase for imported [artists dating 
from flvo years ago. The late Harry Rlekards 
bad been Importing artists from England snd 
America for twenty years, under exsctly tbe same 
conditions as existed at the present time. Im- 
portation had been goln* on since vaudeville ex- 
isted In Australia. The Variety Artists' Federa- 
tion of England, tbe most powerful organisation 
of variety artists In the world— wUh which the 
A. V. A. B. claimed affiliation— never yet raised 
the complaint against Importing artists to Eng- 
Isnd from abroad.

OUR LONDON LETTER, 

HENRY GEORGE HIBBERT, *SPECI AL CORRESPONDENT. 



Clipper Bureau, 6 South Square Gray'* lata, London, W. O. 



Feu. 28. 
""Louis Meyer has Just bought out nil tb» 
original sharobolderB In tbo Strand Tbenlro. 
ana 1b now the leaseholder for ninety years. 
It was built as the Wnldorff, and run by ftp 
Shubcrts at tbe outset. Then It became the 
Whitney Theatre, but with no better luck. 
But "Mr. Wu" looks as though It might run 
there till further orders. A week hence Mr. 
Meyer sails for New York. Ho has bad 'in 
Interesting career. A fairly Bkilled artist In 
black and white himself, be made bis Hut 
money as a dealer In curios. He bas many 
quaint looking art stores. lie backed s two- 
rent newspaper and made money at that — 
London Opinion by name. Then he made a 
pile out of "The Glad Kyc," and went head- 
long Into theatrical management, lie rarc'y 
makes a mistake. Horse racing is his side 
line. And his luck docs not leave him (note I 
"A Pair of Silk Stockings," Cyril Ilnr- 
court's new farce, produced at the Criterion 
Theatre on Monday by Mary Moore's son, 
Itronson Albcry, and Allan AyncBWorth, who 
havo taken a lease of this house, owes n good 
deal to the personality of I<ottlo Venue, as 
any ploy nmst In which that wonderful 
.woman should appear. But It Is nn effective 
composition of its kind. Hnm Thornhlll, a 

Kooa-honrtcd, stupid creature, was divorced 
y his impulsive wife — be had not the energy 
or the Intelligence to dissipate her suspicions, 
which were quite unfounded. A while Inter 
Sam formed one of a house party at witty 
Did Lady Cowers. They wcro to give an 
amateur performance of "Caste," and Sam 
was to play old Kccloa. Who should arrive, 
all unexpectedly, thanks to a motor smash, 
but Mrs. Thornhlll. It was embarrassing, 
ut Sam was not sorry, for be loved his wife 
nd wanted to make friends. Disguised to 
be beard and rough clothes he had procured 
or his Eccloa make-up. bo hid himself in tbe 
'•droom reserved tor her, To his nmrtie- 
merit she was followed to that seclusion hv 
Major Uagnall, a daring admirer. Sam 
snorted with rage and was dragged from his 
hiding place. Neither of the parties recog- 
nized blm. They took him lor a burplnr, 
overpowered him, tied him up wltb madamo'r 
silk stockings and flung him Into a bath- 
room, from which, when reinforcements ar- 
rived, he had escaped. Nobody believed tbe 
burglar story, and so Mrs. Thornhlll and 
Uagnall were In a very scandalous predica- 
ment till Sain appeared, In his proper per- 
son, put everything straight (with the help 
<.f tbe silk stockings), and made good friends 
with his wife. 

At Ihe New Theatre on Saturday "The Joy 
Hide Girl" had a pretty good reception. The 



music Is held to bo Its best part. The dresses 
In the Widows' Club Bcene are very daring. 

When Adellna Oenee left the Empire, Lydla 
Kynsht succeeded. She, in turn, departed, 
nnd the directors determined on a bold stroke. 
Tbcy made a little English girl, Phyllis 
Bedells, trained In the theatre. Its proud 
premiere danaeuie. Edouard Esptnosa, tbe 
new moUre-de-bollet here, is quite in sym- 
pathy with this policy. He Bays English 
girls would soon dance all right did tbey not 
sec all tbe prizes going to the foreigners. 
He Introduced Miss Bedells on Monday, ac- 
cordingly, In an "all English ballet" That 
1b to say, all the performers In »he revrroa 
"Dancing Master" are English. The story 
of the ballet, written by Wllhelm for Genec, 
Is very like that of "The First Night," in 
which the novice replaces the overweening 
prima donna. Miss Bedells and Edouard 
fcsplnozn, a son of tbe famous old maitrc 
who died some time since, after fifty years 
in England, danced finely. Tbe reception of 
tne revival was enthusiastic. 

Whatever criticism may be directed at the 
dramatic art of London, says The Pau mall 
Uazette. it can never be accused of being 
non-cosmopolitan. A glance round the thea- 
tres at the present moment shows that 
amongst the authors England is well repre- 
sented by Shnkoapcarc. Ireland by Shaw. 
Scotland by Barrlc, Trance by Bernstein and 
Sardoti, Russia by Tolstoi, America by Cohan, 
und the Jewish race by Zangwlll. Chinese 
nnd Japnriesc subjects are in evidence at two 
other theatres, whilst Austria contributes to 
the musical plays. 

Having been played two hundred tlmos, 
"The Sleeping Beauty Re-Awnkenod" is short- 
ly to be withdrawn from Drury Lane. 

Marie Tempest was uulck to rccogulae the 
failure of Norrey Connell's play, "Thank Tour 
Ladyship," and on Tuesday night replaeed It with 
the perennially popular "Marriage of Kitty," till 
she shall hate a new piece ready. 

Vedrrnne and Radio proceed to their next adven- 
ture at the Royalty to-night, a play entitled 
"Peggy and Her Hnsband, ,r by Joseph Renting, 
better known as a novelist. 

On Wednesday "Anna Karentoa" will r* played 
for the one hundred and first tin* at the Ambas- 
sadoT's Theatre. She chooses this occasion to 
comnipmornte, according to Russian custom. 

It Is claimed that Friday last waa the eigh- 
teenth anniversary or the Introduction of the 
Cinematograph to London, by R, D. Panl. 

There has been a re-arrangement ot the Alhsin- 
bra dluctton, Andre Chariot and Montng.ta J.eveau 
havo for a long time been "Joint general man- 
agers." Now they both Join the hoard, Chariot 
us managing director, Lrveaux as nn "advisory 
director" only. 

Captain Scott's widow bas seen tbe wonderful 



pictures of the heroic explorer's fatal expedition 
now drawing dally and nightly crowds to the 
Philharmonic Hall, In Regent Street It took ber 
long to steel her nerves to the occasion, and her 
emotion waa profound. 

Although the Wonder Zoo and Circus at Olym- 
pla la still drawing "record" audiences the show 
roast end tonight. Olyinpla la wanted for an 
aeroplane exhibition. 

Two vaodeTille corporations kave "divided" 
this week — twenty-live per cent, tor the Coliseum 
stockholders ; twenty per cent tor those in the 
Empire, though, In tbe latter case the directors 
have had to take a little from their large accu- 
mulation of proOts to keep tbeir distribution up 
to the average. 

There bas been an elaborate revision of the 
revue "Keep Smiling," at tbe Alhambra. Robert 
Hales bas a skit on "tbe American Railway 
Boas," opropot to Mr. Thornton's appointment to 
tbe Great Eastern Railway. Lee White bas a 
charming Valentine seena. Marguerite Haney his 
a new song. "Tbe Olrl Who's Followed on tbe 
Street" Tbe revue is still vastly popular. 

London's relaxation of the regulations that so 
completely separated theatre and music hall did 
not, of course, apply to tbe provincial cities, 
though many of them came Into line with the 
Metropolis. Birmingham was a notable exception. 
Tbe police authorities bate Intimated that tbe 
long revue cannot be allowed. This is held to be 
a very serious matter (or the touring combina- 
tions, who cannot aSord to cut out tbe midland 
city, which, moreover, may set a troublesome 
example to others. Tbe Variety Artists' Federa- 
tion Is strongly supporting tbe movement against 
tbe revue, which It claims to be injurious to tbe 
single turn. 

News comes from Australia that "Joseph and 
His Brethren" baa been produced there with great

Suite a vogue for Ibese shows, which Madame 
assault gets ready in Paris and ships over. Tbo 
costumes are very florid, and the humor very toea* 
This one. entitled "0"eet Bon." Is as good as 
any of Its predecessors ; or bettsr. It exploits 
a very clever dancer. Mile. Oornellla, but smue 
of tbo papers score steli for permitting a per- 
former to ape the late Harry Frisson. Tbe like- 
mm la so near aa to be uncanny. As a matter 
of taste, tbe Imitation Is no more reprehensible 
than many things to be seen lu vsnJevIUe just 
now.

hours all three corns came out. 

No soreness whatever. 1 
never thought of the corns from 
the nioment I used Blue-jay. 
And now they are gone, to 
never return, unless tight shoes 
cause new ones. 

This is tbe story of millions of 
corns which have liecn ended by Hluc- 
jny . It will lie the story of your corns 
when you use this one ri^ht method. 

Don't pare them. Paring never 
ends iiciirn. Use the modern method. 

A famous chemist, by Inventing 
Blue-jay, lias made corn tronbles 
needless. Blue-jay takes corns out, 
without any trouble, without any 
nnnoyancc. Apply it in a jiffy, then 
forget the corn, 

* It is taking out about one million 
corns a month. It is the method 
now used and endorsed by physicians. 
You owe to yourself a test.

AN OPEN LETTER. 

Nxw Yobs, Feb. 2. 
Mh. Omit. Mi dds, Wslltck's Theatre, New York. 
IitAH Hin: Pardon tbe lntrualon of tbla 
letter, but your published remark, ss followa: 
"Bring It down en your own bead," furnished tbe 
Inspiration. 

I should like to see a better system of agency 
for American plays la England, sod I cannot 
help thinking that If sn agent would engage a 
certain number of actors, good readera, to read 
ploys to managera In London, more business would 
be done, and done mote quickly than at present. 

Now, before your remarks were msde I was 
thinking of a plan whereby tbe unknown play- 
writer could bring to tbe attention of managers 
bis play sod get a bearing quickly. 

It was to bsve tbe drsmatlst buy or hire an 
ordinary phonograph with a few recording discs 
and then talk his play on tbe disks, bring It 
or send It to a manager who could, at hla lelaure, 
put It on bla reproducing phonograph, and over bis 
lunch. Ms tea, bis toddy or his cigar, bear the 
same, and spoken words would show up a play to 
him where written worda might not. Humor and 
oathoa could be forcibly expressed In the spoken 
words while tbey would fall flat when read in 
manuscript. In fact, s play agency could Invite 
managers to bis office and they could listen to a 
play or aeveral, one of wblcb might strike tbe 
fancy of some manager. 

To quicken matters for managers, the author 
could send a dlak upon which were recorded the 
opening and ending of each act whereby Its dra- 
matic worth might be determined, and If such 
were InU-restlng, tbe full recorded play could be 
sent later on. 

Dramatic societies encouraging new playa could 
bave meetings, and several new ploy* could be 
presented to them, on tbe phonograph, and their 
Judgment could be naked ns to their worth, and 
their endorsement of a piny no doubt would re- 
ceive consideration by a producing manager. In 
this wny a thousand plays would be heard where 
fifty now would not no read, ns tbo rending of 
ploys Is no doubt a tedious matter. 

The author could read the. play lilmwlf on to 
tbe phonograph's recoiling dlak, vr ho could hire 
M>mn good actor to do It, who could bring out 
Its dramatic [mints. 

Tills form of presenting piny* to managers 
would cost but a few dollar* to tbe authors, and 
get attention, as a play could bo more nutekly 
judged by heurlng than by the present method. 

If this strikes you as a good idea— If you glvo 
publicity to It— It would soon be heard around 
tbo world to the advantage of authors and man- 
agers. 

A play could be recorded bete on the dlars and 
sent lo Kngluid for consideration. Yours truly, 
Kuiibnb Biixsiuan.

WILLIAM GILLETTE. BLANCHE 
IIVH.S AND IMA HI I : D011O, 
IN "DIPLOMACY." 
Charles Frohman baa closed a great contract 
for a combination of atars for next sesaon. Be 
Itaa secured William Gillette, Blanche Batea and 
Marie Horo, for an all atsr production of Sardou'a 
"Diplomacy." This star combination brings 
William Gillette back to the stage; It provides 
Blanche Batea with a role iierfectly aulted to ber, 
and glvea Marie Doro an American opportunity In 
a part In wblcb she bas already made a great 
London auccess. 

When Mr. lTrohman produces "Diplomacy," Mr. 
Gillette will ploy Henry Beauclerc: Mlaa Patra 
will bo the Countess Zlcka, rnd Miss Doro will 
ploy Dora. His appearance sa Henry Itcuuclcrc 
will tie Mr. GUletto's first return to the tlew York 
stage In over three years. He was last seen In New 
York In bis play*. "Sherlock Holmes." "Secret 
Service" and "Held Br the Enemy," bnt since 
tben be bas confined Ills public appearances to 
brief lecture, tours. Periodically Mr. Gillette baa 
vlalfed Mr. BYohman to ssy that whenever a part 
to bis liking came along bo would be glaa to 
act ngnln for a limited season. On accepting tbe 
role of Henry Beauclerc, Mr. Olllotto expressed 
great wllllngnesa to have ss co-stars with htm 
Miss Bates find Mian Doro. Mr. Frohsiun has 
commlaalonrd Illlaaboth Mates, author of "The 
Poor Little Rich Girl," to wrltn a new play for 
Hiniicho Bates, In which ahe will appear at the 
end of the, "Diplomacy" aesson. 

Mlaa Doro Is now playing "Dora," as one of 
the stsr* in tbe atsr cast production of 
"Diplomacy," now in lis second year at Wynd- 
ham's Theatre, London, where Gerald du Maurler 
la acting the part that William Gillette will play 
In this country, and Hill* Jeffreys Is playing the 
role that will be done In America by Blanche 
Bates. 

Tbe season of this combination of stars for 
"Diplomacy" will begin In October. A number 
of the English cast will be brought from London 
for other parts In "Diplomacy."

Notes.— Richard Bennett appeared at the 
Nelson 6, In "Damaged Goods," drawing a 
rapacity house. This Is Mr. Bennett's home 
city, and his first visit here slnre gaining 
all present prominence. Following a splen- 
did ovation after the second art, Mr. Ben- 
nett Bald that he hoped the applause was 
rot for him but for the play and the truths 
it portrayed. He further stated that he was 
through with the lighter drama, and that as 
long as plays wero written that tended 
toward the. uplift and betterment of human- 
ity that he would lend his time and abilities 
to tbelr production, Mr. Bennett was 
pleased to meet many old friends, <tnd stated 
that ho would possibly return next season In 
his new ploy, "Maternity." He lectured on 
eugenics In the afternoon at the Baptist 
Temple, which was largely attended. The 
proceeds, nugmentsd by $20 from Mr. Ben- 
nett, wero donated to the local Industrial 
nchool. ...Agreements wero entered Into last

HaolA to Work. 

Ruth Wheeler (Mrs. Harvey Maxwell) is 
happy. I Not that she over missed that good 
humor thing, but, you sec, alio had been 'die 
for a coupla of months caring for that new 
Ingenue, Adeln, who came Into her mother's 
rights In November, Slnco then hubby Hnr- 
vcy and sister Naomi havo worked with 
Choo's "Vegetnblo Garden" — until a fovE 
weeks ago. when both Jumped away from (ho 
"eats" tiling, Unrvcy going to St. Josoph to 
the Mrs., and Naomi to Pnllndolphla, whero 
alio got busy doing a "sluglo" singing nnd 
dancing trick, wlillo Ruth and Harvey worked 
out a double art, 

Maxwell and Wheeler, as they nro billed, 
launched the new song and dance turn 
around St. Louis last week, nnd aro now In 
possession of contracts via tho O. T. Craw- 
ford Kxchnngo, that will keep them busy for 
tho next two months. Unrvcy Rays tho Craw- 
ford peoplo givo all hands a '.luman recep- 
tion and proper hearing, even t hough tbo 
office is constantly S. It. O. Sounds good.

Perhaps Brother Gus wonders If nrothcr 
Frank Is his opposition, but then at the samo 
tlmo Ilrother Gus Is appreciating llrother 
Frank's activities, llrother Uus Is. Frank's 
latest was to suggest making a six Instead 
of a seven act bill out of tho Twenty-third 
Street policy and play up (bo picture part of 
his show. So If you happen to lay down a

don't hesitate about picking oft a pamphlet

<THE> BOTIVW YORK CITY 



COLONIAL. 

(RAR8T A. BAILEY, MOB.) 

To this popular vaudeville house belongs) 
the distinction of baring the only novelty of 
the week — the debut In vaudeville of William 
I'aversham. Not only wss the bouse crowd- 
ed on Monday afternoon. March 0, but all of 
the dramatic critics were on hand to ace tho 
popular actor. For further mention of his 
appearance sec New Acts. 

The Three Renards, In their aerial teeth 
act, opened the program, and their work beld 
the attention of the audience. The applause 
it-Mowed upon them was honestly deserved. 

Bryan Lee and Mary Cranston contributed 
a pleasing act. Mr. Lee bills himself as the 
Cbauncey Olcott of vaudeville, and In voice 
and mannerisms be reminds us of that star. 
He sang some of Mr. Olcott's songs in charm- 
ing style. Miss Cranston Is also a good per- 
former, although not gifted as a singer. 
Near the close of the act she lets down her 
hair, which Is exceedingly long and beauti- 
ful. She is a blonde. 

A big hit was scored by Edgar Allan 
Woolf's playlet, "The Little Mother," which 
bears a slight resemblanco to Jules Eekert 
Goodman's drama, "Mother." It is one of 
the best sketcjea that Mr. Woolf has written 
and has no difficulty In "getting over,' for 
the story that it tells goes straight to the 
heart. Louise Galloway, who is featured, 
gives a splendid performance as the mother, 
and Doris Hsrdy. as the cabaret singer, makes 
her role stand out prominently. (Miss) Jean 
Ueece, as a maid, furnished the comedy end 
of the piece in a very clever manner. Join 
A. Butler, as the wayward son, has greatly 
improved his performance since we saw the 
playlet last 

Chris Rlcharda, the eccentric comedian 
•cored heavily. He is a good dancer, and 
his 'lint'* staff pleased the house Innnensely. 
The Sir Kirksmlth Sisters charmed the 
music lovers In the audience with their re- 
fined act. All of the ladle* are pretty and 
are skilled musicians. Their act is one of 
tbe best of its kind seen on the big time 
circuit

(Friday, Dec. 20, 1012) at this theatre, her 
manager, Oliver Morosco, presented her in 
three one act plays on Friday afternoon, 
March 6. The playlets are all from tbe pen 
of her husband, J. Hartley Manners, who, 
as everyone knows, wrote "Peg o' My Heart.' 1 
Miss Taylor was assisted by the members of 
tbe "Peg" company. 

It was tie intention of the management 
to add John Corbln's play. "Tho Forbidden 
Guests," but the length of the Manners' play* 
lets prevented this. 

"Just As Well," programmed as a "twen-

acted It proved to be a delightful comedy,

Louise Alexander, with a capable dancer,

GREELEY SQUARE. 

The bill March 6-7 Included: 

Holmes and Riley, operatic duo, with tbe 
lady on the atnge and her partner directing 
the orchestra. A soprano solo wss well sung, 
also the gentleman's baritone selections ana 
their Joint offering of "Faust." 

W. E. Whittle, ventriloquist, kept the dum- 
mies In conversation with himself, and did 
imitations snd singing In Roosevelt make-up. 

Bush and Shapiro had a lively net, tbe 
little comedian with the funny whirling slide 
working well in conjunction with his bigger 
partner, who keeps slapping him Industrious- 
ly. "The Ylddlshcr SocUWe Ball" and "Vir- 
ginia" wcro the vocal contributions to tho 
festivities of the evening. 

"The Love 8pe<:lnllet" was a sketch In 
which a wife, who feels herself neglected, en- 
lists the services of a professional love re- 
viver, who succeeds in winning back the hus- 
band's attention to its proper and lawful 
object. 

Eugene Emmett tenored In "On the Banks 
of the Brandywlne" with good effect, also 
with 'IShe's Dancing Her neart Away," and 
followed up his advantage by "Molly O," 
'(Roll On, Silver Moon," nnd "Norah 11c- 
Namsrs." 

The Thrco Brandt Brothers offered a ring 
act, showing great proficiency in athletics 
on a set of apparatus which provided some 
novel features especially adapted to their 
line of work. Plenty of teeth grips, includ- 
ing work by one of tne trio with the guy line 
supporting the poles and ladders on which 
the others worked. A triple teeth whirl was 
a hummer. Each one of toe surprising tricks, 
in fact, the entire act, gained hearty ap- 
plause. 

"A Good Little Devil" In many parts made 
wo tbe big part of the entertainment, and 
the clever work of Mary Plckford and her 
assistants was splendidly reproduced by the 
Famous Players' film. JftH.

day evening, March 0. hut "on tbe whole" n

which, by the way, made tbe final program 
of tho seven acts policy, for beginning Mon- 
day 0. Manager McCune Introduced tho 
change to sir vaudeville acts and a noticeably 
strengthened array of photoplay features. 
The House Is as comfortablo and tidy as of

the business that ira* oeforo the heavy snows

Jeter and Rogers, the comedy roller skat- , 
ers, opened the bill. Tbe straight man's 
work is good, but that continual showing up 
of the lingerie things by the fallB of tho 
comedian Is not clnssea as comical. He 
should dig up some different business. 

Wheat and Alwln. black face enmedinns 
and dancers, are a bit above many other sets 
like 'em seen on tho "pop" circuits. 

Others on the bill to be found more fully 
reviewed under our New Acts and Reappear- 
ances, In this Issue, are: Lionel Turin. Alary 
Gray and company. McDcrmott and Wallace, 
Lcn JuDdts. and Gorman and Phillips.

Cross and Lois Josephine, bsd no trouble in 
•coring their ususl big hit. Refinement is 
stamped on everything that they do. Mr. 
Cross is one of tbe few men In vaudeville 
who can wear a dress suit and look com- 
fortable In it .As a dancer he is away above 
the average, and Miss Josephine Is not only 
one of tho cleverest women on the stage, but 
she is also one of the prettiest She dances 
with much grace and her singing voice is 
pleasant to listen to. 

The BellcclMre Brothers, who have been 
long absent from the city, were given a 
warm welcome on their appearance. They 
are remarkable athletes. They work fast, 
and everything that they do commands ad- 
miration. 

Harry A. Bailey Is now managing the Co- 
lonial, He is one of tho most popular man- 
agers In the country. Kelcq/. 

LOEWS SEVENTH AVENUE. 

("JAKB" irjBIX, VOX.) 

Thursday evening, March 5, was rsw and 
blowy outdoors, but Jake Lubln's "first night" 
regulars would have braved another one of 
those snowstorms before they'd have r>Issed 
the mid-week change of bill, aad so Web- 
ster's capacity was already In type for this 
review. There was no room to put your coat 
and hat any place but on tbe floor, aad we 
barely had time to bang them there when 
Charles Ulbbs, tbe nut sort of impersonator 
of animals and musical sounds, opened tbe 
show. Globs still bangs on to "dead" to 
finish off most of his Imitations, including 
bumble bee, bobolink, chicken, automobile, 
dog, donkey, phonograph, etc., and closes 
with a whistling number. The way he works 
helps greatly, but It's a repertoire of the 
"same old thing." 

A young woman sang tbe illustrated song, 
"Good Ship Mary Add/* in a frightened wav, 
to follow, and tJcn Morris and Bcasley 
offered a few songs alone and together, ana 
danced, but their chatter draws your atten- 
tion from the Idea tbat the title of their 
act Is "The Manicure Shop." Business at 
tho table might Bupplant the rough work on 
the sofa with better results. Miss Morris 
sings "I'm On My Way to Mandalay," and 
Mr. Bcasley "I Miss You Most of All/' wlti 
more class than tbe "action of the turn" 
warrants, They could make as neat an act 
of It as they appear. 

Madam Zenda, after being Introduced by 
a too oratorical affected young man, offered 
her "•mind reading" and question answering 
while blindfolded and seated up stage, while 
the man worked the orchestra aisles. It 
was all enjoyed, end do Mndam sprung 
many laugh answers for relief from the 
straight work. An extra word for the beau- 
tiful gown she wore at tbls show. 

Add Hoyt's Minstrels, seven In all, romped 
away with as big a share of the applause as 
anything on the bill — snd every act was 
Irked, it's the some speedy frolic of min- 
strelsy, with close on to four dozen laughs, 
with the singing just as good. 

Herbert and Dennis, straight and a 
"two hundred and fifty" pound comedian 
with a comic slide and a repertoire of facial 
expressions, were probably the noise of the 
bill, due to the "two-fifty" feller. The 
straight man works well, but often gives tbe 
Impression that he's striving to be Frenchy. 

Tho Three Donalds, In white fleshings, are 
without a doubt one of the leading strength 
trios In tho business. They have a sterling 
net snd present poses that appear to either 
bo lnvposslbls for or have escaped other acts 
somewhat like the wonderful Three Donalds. 
Tbey finished the bill off big. Pod.

HAMMERSTEIN'S. 

(WM. HAUMBB8TXIN, MOB.) 

A bill consisting mostly of singing and 
dancing acts Is offered this week. It opened 
wltb Will Carpentlcr, doing a skating act. 
Mr. Carpentlcr Is a clever skater and does 
many tricks, but he could strengthen his act 
if he worked with a girl. 

J. Francis -Brcnnan followed with illus- 
trated songB, assisted by a young lady in a 
box. 

Plko and Calame do a fair singing and 
dnnclng act. 

The Girl in the Muff went big. (See New 
Acts.) 

Iloey and Lee sang some good parodies 
andamsde tbclr usual hit. 

Joe Kcno and Roale Green were a big lilt, 
their dancing was exceedingly clever. 

Elisabeth Murray sang four songs and put 
them over great. 

"Ms Cberie" (see New. Acts). 

Fannie Brlc* cleaned up. Fannie has im- 
proved wonderfully well la the last few 
years. Bbe pnte ber numbers over great, 
end she hnndles her comedy well. 

Wellington Cross snd Lots Josephine were 
easily the hit of the bill In their singing and 
dnuclog numbers. They have a very classy 
act 

Hello Blanche scored a success witb her 
Impersonations. 

Six American, Dancers, three girls and 
three men, doing a clever. dancing act, with 
changes. Longhltn's Comedy Dogs did well.

HAJESTIC. 

(Lyman B. Glover, manager). The Ma- 
jestic has for Its headllner tola week frank 
Lalor, In a musical comedietta, "Back to 
berth." It can gafely be said to be the best 
sketch that Mr. Lalor has ever presented In 
Chicago. Gertrude Holmes and Robert Bu- 
chanan opened, singing old and new songs, 
doing nicely. Frits Bruch and slater, 'cello 
and violin experts, did splendid In second 
position. "Fixing the Furnace," a farce by 
George Holland and company, one of the best 
laughing sketches seen here in some time. 
Muriel and Frances, two clever girls, sang 
songs in a way that made them take many 
encores. "Mandaiayj* was the big song hit 
for the girls. "Celluloid Sara," a moving 
picture drima, was a big surprise to the Ma- 
jestic audience. The cast is well balanced. 
Bellow, the mentaphone artist, opened Inter- 
mission with a novelty. Frank Lalor ana 
canjpany followed with a ca.jm.Me company.

woman who captivates an audience at once 
with her baritone solos. Archer and Belford, 
In a comedy sketch, should go fairly well on 
small time. Melnotte Twins are two pretty 
and attractive young women, who slog and 
dance fairly well. After their last song they 
close with a dance, which made a big bit. 
Gordon Brothers and kangaroo are clever. 
They do bag punching and present a sparring 
match with their kangaroo that furnishes a 
lot of fun.

SPARKS' SHOW ROTES. 



BI fLSTCUBB SMITH, 



At the twenty-flrst birthday party of the 
Professional Woman's League. Maltla Crai- 
gin, president, given at the League rooms, 
1999 Broadway, on Feb. 28, 1914, the draw- 
ing for the winner of the Weser Brothers' 
Pianola took place. This was a 1000 Instru- 
ment, and was won by Harry F. Weber, of 
Mt Vernon, and who is of the well known 
firm of vaudeville agents, Weber A Evans. 
The winning number was B-62, sold In De- 
cember, 1911, by Rosalie Mnckentuss, who is 
one of the prominent members of the League, 
besides being the manager of the family de- 
partment of the United Booking Offices. 

LHile B. Becbslle, the treasurer of the 
League, presented the League with four 
dozen solid sliver teaspoons and one dosca 
solid silver forks, upon Its "coming of ago" 
party. 

Mrs. ASbertlne Pen-in baked and present* 
ed the birthday cake upon this occasion. 

Mrs. Sol Smith, the oldeat living actress, 
elafrty-six jears of age on March 10, is quite 
111 with neurltla of the head. A large basket 
of -choice fruits was sent Mrs, Snath by the 
League members, expressing their sympathy. 

There were so many requests at the Frl- 
iday evening dancing class held at the League, 
for another class, chat Tuesday afternooa 
of each week has been decided upon to meet 
these demands. Already more applications 
hare been made than was hoped for. It la 
quite possible that the League rooms will be 
utilized for a similar purpose If tbe demand 
continues. A very nn Vlctrola hae been 
purchased to add to the other music for dan- 
cing, and Bosetta Hawthorne Hayes, tbe 
dancing instructress, Is to be congratulated 
upon her wonderful success. 

The Literary Day, on March 2, has been 
postponed to April 6, when Mrs. Llbby Cul- 
bcrtson Maedonald will be the chairman. Tbe 
terrlfflc storm of tje former date Is the good 
and sufficient reason for the postponement. 

Francis Wilson, president Of the Actors' 
Equity Society, will be tbe gvest of honor, 
at tbe regular monthly Dramatic Day, on 
March IB, Howard Kyle, the secretary, baa 
also agreed to be present, also Henry Miller 
and Bruce MoBae. 

The league takes pleasure In Inviting all 
actort ana octreutt who are Interested In 
the great movement for the benefit of the 
acting (Mople, to meet Mr, Wilson at the 
league rooms, 1900 Broadway, at S r. m.

The ilroeklyn Sonic publishes the picture

the following description: 

"Pabib, -rob. an.— Those who have stared 
for any length of time In Paris are familiar 
with the difficulty Involved In trying to reach 
a point on some street or boulevard In which 
a atreet fair la in progress, 

"These atreet fairs are called 'Fetes Fo- 
ralncs,' and are unlike anything on this 
order in tbe new world. The management ob- 
tains a permit to occupy a certain stretch of 
the moro unfrequented boulovarda, and for a 
period of time the carnival spirit Is rife In 
the locality. All forms of cheap attractions 
abound, and not the least faacfnatlng Is an 
acrobatic 'performance In which the partici- 
pants are all young children. 

"Tho various crowds who arc. ever to bo 
found watching this particular amusement 
are perhaps often putsled to know why these 
youngsters are allowod to perform In public 
to tho evident neglect of their educational

THE COLUMBIA CONCERT. 

The best Sunday matinee bouse tbts season 
•was recorded 8. The bill was excellent. ' 

BUI Dooley and Evelyn went down the 
line In a One variety ot stunts. Opening as 
an Eton boy and a sbort-frockod kiddy, the 
couple sang and danced. Evelyn did some 
bicycle tricks, Bill did a Scotchman. singing

suit rode a untcyclo and a target with com. 



edy effects ; then a dance, then a tort of a

then both appeared In a clover Texas Tommy

dance. That's a basketful for fair I 

Farley and Morrison, a nifty couple, opened 
with "There's a Ctrl I Take to Hector's," 
wblcb they sang nicely. Then, after a change 
of frock, "I've Got Everything I Want But 
You," with neat buslucss by the girl. A "Ger- 
many" song In dialect was followed by a 
French bit and song, with a little funny bit 
of business with the mustache, and their 
getaway was marked by good applause. 

Helen Page and company, In the playlet. 
"The Understudy," made the usual - hit 
through Miss Page's clover Impersonation of 
the naive stage debutante who fell all over 
herself In the misfit leading lady dress, ably 
assisted by tbe leading man. 

La Pllsrlca, a dark eyed senorita. who 
could donee, and her blonde brother, showed 
the genuine Argentine tango. The lace 
trimmed trousers worn by tbe man made a 
big bit with the ladies. The dancing; of the 
whirls and the ItUBslon steps, as well as the 
Castanet dances wore well liked. 

Keefe and Bruno doubled In a singing act, 
srith harp accompaniment, and Mr. Recto's 
yodllng as well as tbe expert manipulations 
of tbo harp by Mr, Bruno mado a good com- 
bination. ' 

•McConDell and Simpson, la the mlrup be- 
tween tbe girl whom the young business man 
intends to marry and tbe hosiery saleswoman 
whom he does marry, made up a merry enter- 
tainment. Tbo energetic lady, an adept at 
crying and laughing put over a good act 

Baunders and Von open as an awkward 
couple showing stago fright, but readily bo- 
came accustomed to their surroundings and, 
■wlf.i their ventriloquist stunts with funny 
repartee and actions, a burlesque on "Dr. 
Jckyll and Mr. Hyde'* arid other "nut" stuff 
by both, earned their placo on the bill. A 
burlesque tango topped tbclr offering. 

Ward and Curran closed the hill, and 
Fop's energetic admonitions to tbe audience 
and to the customers ot the court room got 
the laughs, and John Curran'a eluging, the 
encores. ''Off with the Old Love, On with 
tbe New," was well liked. 

A plcturo finished tho show. mil.

TEXAS TALK. 



II O. L. BOWMAK. 



Tns Tyler, Tex., Elks, on Feb. 37, gsve their 
annual minstrel show, In the Hippodrome Theatre, 
which was a huge success both financially and 
artistically. Tbe performance this year was given 
under the direction of Henry Roquemore, an old 
profeslsonsl, to whom great credit la due. 

TxLia, Tex., a town of 10,400 population, bss 
been without a theatre since tbe burning ot tbe 
opera house In 1007. The Hippodrome, a "movie" 
house, seating capacity 4B0, has a small slsge, 
and is playing a few attractions. Friday and 
Saturday are tbo best dates, as tho students of 
the Tyler Commercial College, cumbering nearly 
one thousand, are prohibited from attending 
amusement plsces only on the nights mentioned, 
and consequently, thus restrained, are i.nre to go 
en those nights. 

As AN example of how Tub Currxs Is re- 
garded, even In action, among abow folks, look 
up Roland Ashford Phillips' story, "Standing Room 
Only," now running as a serial In Tho Top Notch 
Magasine. Can some ot those self-styled amuse- 
ment (?) "weeklies" explain why Mr. Phillips 
didn't mention themt In fiction, ts in true-life, 
Tub CLti'pin Is without a noteworthy rival. 

Lauot Bowman snd bis estimable wife, Clara, 
many years ago connected with O. W. Setchell's 
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" (now called Terry's,, re- 
cently left Obuilrou, Neb., where he hud been lo- 
cated for many yeans aa an engineer on the 0. A 
N. W. Railroad, for Oregon, where they have 
decided to locate snd make their future home. 
Mr. and Mrs. Bowman can tell many amusing 
experiences with the old "Tom" show, which 
numbered amongst their employees, Joe and Myra 
Keotou, sow famous In lumlevllle. Bert Cutler, 
for many years director of Field's Mloatrel Band, 
waa also with them. Mr. Bowman Is and kaa 
slwaya been a staunch admirer ot Tns Ci.:ii-sb, 
his schoolmates Including the late Frnuk Queen, 
the founder of Tin: Olipieu.

Co., under the management ot B, Harrington. 
- Olao to see tbe SAarps and Flats Column. It's 
now up to you, Mr. Musician, to ace that it's 
made a success. Send In all the news you can 
aboat brother traveling musicians. Wo predict 
that it will be a big success, for did you ever 
stop to think thst the traveling musician has 
been left in total oblivion as far aa the musical 
Journals and other amusement publications were 
concerned. It remained for Tub Oi.iitbb, as in 
everything else, to start It, so now let's all get 
together and make It the musicians' column a 
success.

SHOWMEN'S LEAGUE BALL. 



The Showmen's League of America gave 
Us first annual ball at the Hotel Sherman, 
Chicago, Wednesday nlgbt, March 4. 

It was a huge success from every vlew- 
■polot. 

Through tho courtesy of Frank Bebrlsg, 
manager ot the Hotel Shermao, rooms on 
the entire second floor, Immediately adjoin- 
ing the Louis XVI Boom, -where the ball was 
given, were placed at tho disposal of the 
League officials for the convenience of the 
guests of the evening. Every effort was put 
forth by the Hotel Sherman management to 
make It pleasant for all attending The SJow- 
mens League Ball. 

Tho grand march originally scheduled to 
occur at 0.30 p. M., was postpoucd until 
11.30, In view of the fact that many of tho 
profession were unable to arrive at the hall- 
room until after their engagements in the 
local theatre. 

Colonel W. P. Cody (Buffalo Bill), presi- 
dent of The Showmen's League, and Mrs. 
Dora Earle, a prominent suffragette, led the 
grand march. 

Join B. Warren, chairman of the general 
committee having the ball In hand, deserves 
tbe highest praise for tho exemplary manner 
In which every feature of the gala night was 
carried out Warren A. Patrick arranged 
the entertainment program, which was suc- 
cessfully carried out under his personal di- 
rection, Colonel Charles Andress, first vice 
president of the B. L. A., made a wondoiTul 
showing with tho advertising In the official 
program. 

The memory of The Showmen's League 
ball will linger In the minds of all who at- 
tended It, for many years to come. It Is the 
rnnsensiiH of opinion that never In the his- 
tory of Chicago amusements has an entertain- 
meat been offered such ns was provided Wed- 
nesday nlgbt. There nan not a single un- 
toward Incident to mar the festivities of the 
evening. The ball wns a formal affair, and 
•be ladles and gentlemen present enjoyed 
themselves to the full. And much of the 
pleasure of the evening was due to the hearty 
co-operation of the Hotel Sherman manage- 
ment. Not a detail was overlooked. 

Interlarded between the dance numbers 
there was presented a number of uulque 
dlvertlacments. Under tbe personal direction 
ef Harry L. Newton, of the Will Bosslter 
promoting staff, dean of professional music 
managers In Cblcago, representatives of the 
aunlc publishers provided a songfest. Among 
the vocalists who added a degree ot indi- 
viduality to this part of tbe program were : 
Walter Wilson, Milton and tfaglni, Bocco 
Vocco. James Bggert, the Pour American 
Harmonists-, Dick Satchel, Marvin Lee, Joe 
Curran, Ralph Bart, Coleman Qoctz, Logan 
Slzemore, Bert Duffy. Lew Jacobs, Billy 
Johnston, Bert Reed and Flo Jacobson, who 
contributed their services and entertained In 
a charming manner. 

Through the courtesy of Manager Hurry 
M. Strouse, a charter member of the Show- 
men's League of America, the Girls from the 
follies Burlesque company appeared in cos- 
lume and materially added to tho enjoyment 
of the evening. Never before has a burlesque 
company appeared on a ballroom floor in 
Chlcngo. The prlnlclpals of the Follies who 
helped to entertain were : William H. Harris, 
George "Red" Martin, George Warner, Vesta 
Lockard, Mnrglo Catllii. Harry Steppo and 
Buth Everett. Tho chorus was In splendid 
form and made a hit. 



A buffet dinner wns enjoyed by the enter* 
talners la tho Rose Room. 

Siiiiblc Tucker. "Tho Grand Old Scout of 
the Show World." was on deck, and the way 
she made the folks laugh was a caution. Her 
portion of the entertainment was a scream, 
as It always Is wherever sbc appears. 

George m. Hodgo made tbe announcements 
In a capable manner, and was assisted from 
time to time by Charlos Falk. Their intro- 
ductions added a zest to the occasion. 

Edgar A. Itcnsun's Orchestra of ten pieces, 
under the direction ot Horatio N I'eabody, 
furnished the music, and too much pniisa 
cannot be accorded this splendid organiza- 
tion. Every member of the orcbestrj seemed 
to enter Into the spirit of tho affair with tbo 
result that nothing was lacking. 

Maurice and Miss Covcrdale, of the "Sep- 
tember Morn" company, now enjoying a 
record-breaking run at tho La Salle Opera 
House, tangoed ou the stage for twenty min- 
utes, and, needless to eny, were heartily re- 
ceived. 

As chairman of tbe general committee,

oa tho ballroom floor. Tbo reception and

of the festivities, which lasted until three 
o'clock In the morning. Colonel Cody was 
heard to remark that no had never attended

J. H. Ebohvan Ciacus, Bahama Iulanp, 
Noras. — Tbe weather man bas been more than 
xtnd since the opening of tbe Winter season of 
the J. H. Escbman Olrcus, and business bas been 
very much better thau usual at this time of 
year. The lumber manufacturing towns gave us 
good business In Southern Alabama, aud the per- 
formance baa been running along very smoothly, 
with a great n.any new faces both In the band 
and performance. On Monday afternoon, Feb. 
M. with several membera of the profession, In- 
eluding Gov. John F. Robinson at tbo steamship 
docks of Miami, to bid them farewell, tbe com- 
pany set sail for Nassau, tbo Bahamas, and 
Ob, such a trip, a rough voysge. and even Buster, 
the mascot, was glad when the nest day tbe 
Islands were sighted In the far distance. It was 
estimated thst ten thousand people of tbe city 
bad gathered early and lined tbe banks from tbe 
Colonial Hotel to the steamship docks, to see tbe 
circus come In, and great enthusiasm was shown 
as the circus band, on tbe hurricane deck, played 
tbe favorite Brlllab alra. Tbe advance bad done 
Its duty well, tbe evening brought forth at tho 
sbow grounds a repetition of tbe morning crowds, 
and the first two days hundreds were turned away 
from tbe ticket booths on account of shortage of 
seating room. The third and fourth days were 
very satisfactory, and tho special matinee given 
by tbe management la honor of tbe Boy Scoots 
and Daughters ot tbe King's Bench, was greeted 
with standing room only. Tbe show Is now tack 
on American soil, and everybody Is glad of having

Tbe burlesque follows tbe visit of the Ober- 
dorfer family to Heidelberg In order to ex- 
amine tbe son, Henny, who Is turned into 
an old man by the professor, and tbe two 
eld man are made boys again. 

In the first act "Only a Boy" Introduces 
Mr. Weber. "Joyous Lore" was tbe splen- 
didly sung offering by Norma Bell, and sbe 
encored with "Kebecca of Sunnybrook Farm," 
assisted In several of tbe choruses by Loots 
Thlel. "The Mason and Dixon Line," by 
Clark and Tamer with dancing and tbe 
latest shrugs and hugs by the nifty chorus 
girls ; "The Gas House Gang" was the tough 
number, led by G. Clayton Frye, who, aa 
Buck McGee, contributed an excellent char- 
acter. "Tbe West Point Cadets" showed tbe 
girls op from tbe waist down In a catchy 
march. 

"Honey Boy" was Miss Tomer's offering 
with Johnny Weber, and the chorus, In buck, 
very busy throughout la "The Pirate 
Crew" Mr. Frye led the bold buccaneers. 
Miss Nlcoll made a bit with "Isle D' Amour," 
and with Mr. Bogard, In "Ball On, Silvery 
Moon." 

Mr. Weber's well known war cry and bis 
convulsive sneeze, also his "outside," made 
laughs as usual. The explosion on shipboard 
resulted in tbe closing tableau of about 
twenty nymphs floating In mid-ocean. Clara 
Stlnson bad tbe proper brogue as tbe Irish 
Mrs. Oberdorfer. 

Tbe second act showed Heidelberg, and 
opened with the rousing "Stein" song. 
"Gesundhelt" was put over by Mr. Thlel and 
tbe German girls. "Just a Plain Little Irish 
Girl" was dnetted by Mr. Frye on tbe ground 
and Miss Turner on the balcony. 

"Bummer Lovers" was sung by Mlas Nlcoll 
while Miss Bell and Mr, Weber were kissing 
In the windmill. Tbe girls were neatly at- 
tired in pink. "The Music Teacher" number 
Is one of the big bits, with Che girls wearing 
short aprons with notes, fore and aft Mr. 
Weber selected among otberR : Susie Roberts, 
who sang well ; Hdlfh Lelller, who rugged 
and sang; Ella Taylor, who wns prominent 
for her work In the numbers all through the 
sbow, and Norino Holmes, who made a big 
bit wlCi "The Million Dollar Doll," sung In 
a fine soprano voice, which would get her 
dates on any time. Tbe funny bits intro- 
duced by the teaoher were all appreciated. 

Clark and Turner did a few minutes of 
singing and dancing. Tbe Comedy Four 
offend "Wild Oats?' with some of Mr. 
Weber's choice German "flchnadahupfele." 
"The Heidelberg Yaegerhaoi" number dls- 
played Norma Bell's fine figure in red tights, 
and brought tbe show to an interesting finish. 

BoBe Bydell witnessed the show from a box, 
accompanied by Viols Hastings and other 
guestB.

In the past. Mr. Clark plays tbe Datoh part in 
Ids eccentric stylo simI make-up, and scores

Then came a gorgeous band wagon, with 
a full band of mualdaaa, Oiling the air 
with loud melody. Afterwards a camel led 
by an Arab servant, and carrying on his 
back a richly dressed woman representing a 
Persian huty. Next we have a cavalcade of 
twenty-five knights, arrayed In burnished 
steel mall from bead to foot, their polished 
armor reflecting the sunlight like mirrors. 
Steel hekseta, visors, cuirasses and gaunt- 
lets made cms almost feel that be was back 
an old times with King William and his 
Normaais, or viewing the vassals of the Black 
Prince, Afterwards we have twenty-four 
horsemen in gay maroon with, white feathers 
Id their caps. 

"Then followed about twenty rtchly-palnted 
cages with wild animals and for style of 
smash cannot be beaten In the world. Fol- 
lowing- these, la a grotesque group, men oa 
horseback, fantastically dressed, so at to re- 
eatable, erne a gigantic rooster, another a 
huge frog, another a monkey, one a mule, and 
one a bear. Inside the expansive tent, which 
la of Itself probably the largest In the coun- 
try, la a menagerie containing some of tho 
finest animals ever brought before the Ameri- 
cas gaaa. We enumerate some of them, lie 
elephant, Bosclus, la one of the largest and 
most intelligent of hla species, and weighs 
six tons. He la attended try George Hoakmt. 

"About the noblest Roman of them all la 
the tjlacb-mancd African lion. Pomp, eight 
years old, who bas a most royal look, well 
entitling him to the prerogative of king of 
beasts. Ue is the grandest specimen and bas 
the moat kingly voice of any of the genua 
Leo which we have ever seen. A magnificent 
■Astatic female Hon inhabits another cage. 
She la sleek, trim and beautiful, and of a 
else corresponding to Pomp. Her name is 
Sose. Two African leopards, perfect beauties, 
and probably the largest In ths country, in- 
habit one cage, and two Asiatic leopards an- 
other, la another cage are three performing 
Itocky Mountain bears. Otber entasis which 
•we remember are an Australian kangaroo, an 
African ostrich, the celebrated Walapua, t'e 
Australian wambat, which la a real curiosity ; 
the sea cow, a camel, monkeys, parrots and 
dozens of others which in our haste we can- 
not remember. 

"The keepers take pleas-are In giving (he 
spectators information and in 'stirring up 
the animals.' The circus performers are sot 
surpassed In anything In their line by any- 
body, and in many things are unequalled. 
The Melvllles are unapproachsble In their 
feats of contortion and acrobatic evolutions. 
Originality also marks all the performances. 
P. A. Older, formerly a successful banker In 
Iowa, Is the general business manager, and 
most of the design and workmananlp baa 
been done under his personal directions. J. 
M. Chandler la assistant manager and re-

urer, James Melville, equestrian manager and

CIRCUS NEWS 

FroiTIi cupper, Biglnlig February, 1861 

1808-ContlBSjed. 

"Aa the carriages and cavalcade passed 
along the street yesterday they presented a 
grand and glittering pageantry that attracted 
not only boys, but business men to view it, 
and tbe sidewalk, balconies, fences and 
wooden awnlngx were covered with eager 
spectators, and tbe general remark was that 
Boblnson was fairly entitled to his cognomen, 
'Yankee,' In virtue of his genius of origi- 
nality and Invention. A fsct apparent was 
that only first class artists, artificers and 
workmen to design and construct his elabo- 
rate equipage had been employed. First In 
order in the long line of pageantry is tbe 
celebrated Polyhymlna, which we described 
the other day. It is a colossal musical organ, 
resembling In its tones an enormous hand 
organ, whose loud snd melodious strains are 
calculated to announce the approach of the 
caravan and at the same time delight the 
listener, 

"All that tbe skill of the painter can do 
to render the external appearance of the car 
gay in color and scenes has been done. On 
each end and one side are pictures done op 
by the best artists, and la a style of execu- 
tion which cannot be excelled. It Is fifteen 
feet high, thirteen feet long and eight feet 
wide. Oo the left side the front of tbe in- 
strument Is exposed to view. In a deep panel, 
elaborately gilded, and bordered by massive 
mirrors The next novelty Is the great 
golden dragon, with fierce looking teeth and 
eyes^ — an awful monster of the deep, such as 
the superstitious heathen mythologlsts might 
have fancied dragged the car of Plato In his 
Infernal realm, or In bis fight with the ab- 
ducted Proserpine. It hss feet, claws snd 
tail like the fabled sea horse, snd glitters la 
gold. 



administration" by which he Is now gov- 
erned, Is Just what was wanted. Strong 
advertisements, a splendid procession, cor- 
rect management, an extensive menagerie 
and s "tip top" cirrus are all brought to 
bear In Bryan s establishment. The papers 
apeak well of the show. Peter Conklto, the 
clown, la making himself beard. A few 
weeks ago an editor woo didn't like shows, 
pitched into tbe concern, for which Peter 
pitched Into the "man of Ink." It Is seldom 
that chin music can beat the editor, but 
Peter's eloquence and sarcasm was too much 
for the editor. But one thing clowns should 
remembered, that as a general rule It's folly 
to fight against the press. Don Rice attearptea 
It at Morristown a couple of weeks ago, and 
although Dan was In the right, he came off 
second best. A newspaper can go where the 
voice of Mr. Moneyman can never reach. 

Hcrr Drlosbach's Menagerie and Howe'* 
Circus appeared at tho Calender Lot Provi- 
dence, it. I., on May 0, 7, and people were 
turned away at both performances. A cor- 
respondent says: "O. X,. Clark and Johnny 
Wilcox, the clowns, are up to the average, 
snd the songs of the latter took well. Mr. 
Henrique and EM. Watson ere good eques- 
trians. The Gregory Family Is the feature of 
the show. Mile. Qerknell sppeara with her 
trained poodles, and Jeon, Victor and Arthnr 
on the trapeze, horizontal bars and revolving 
globes. The procession is very well laid out ; 
two bends of music being In line, snd s beau- 
tiful tableaux car occupied by Gertrude and 
her poodles, and a number of women followed) 
by cates, wagons, etc., all decorated with 
™gs. 

They're awful pious at Concord, N. n.. 
Judging from a story which ssys that the 
workmen in one of the carriage factories at 
that village recently held a consultation to 
decide whether they could consdentiouily 
work on circus wagons. We believe that a 
glimpse of a drrns manager's greenbacks

nets It has met with since It started out for 
its Summer campaign. Instead of taking a 
route where It would not hsvo had any oppo- 
slttam it started in dead opposition to the 
New York Circus, losing sight of the fact 
that the "New York" had n long and well- 
deaerved reputation as one of the best con- 
cerns that travele. The Van Amburfh con- 
rem exhibited at Hartford. Conn., on May 
11. 12, to about the worst business ever ex- 
perienced by any circus In tbe country. This 
was caused! no doubt, In consequence of the 
"New York A being extensively billed to show 
there on May 13. We arc Informed that tbe 
receipts of tbe Vara Ambnrgh show were 
srftomaon or tbe lltb, about *325: errenlng. 
927B. and <for the VI, afternoon. 1106, ana 
evening, S70. 

Ill Is Is terrlbletttul business for any canvas 
show, but worso for such a laorge concern aa 
the Van Ambnrgh. The "New York" showed 
at Hartford, and notwithstanding tt rained 
very bard, the receipts for the afternoon and 
evening amounted to, we axe told, over 
11,676. Having become satisfied that It can- 
not successfully oppose the New York con- 
cern, the Van Amburgh has mads a allgbt 
change tn Its route and showed at Providence 
four davs earlier than It was advertised for. 
It appears that even the country people know 
when a good show la coming along. 

The Orton Brothers' Circus performed at 
Brownsville, Neb., on May 8: Nebraska City 
11, Plattsmouth 12, Omnha 13, 14, and Coun- 
cil Bluffs, la,, 18. During tbe week ending 
May 2 they were at Kansas City, Mo., and 
bad very windy weather for throe days, so 
that they could not put the top canvas up, 
bat put tho sides up and tbe people sat In 
the hot nun to look nt the show. In Western 
Kansas business is said to have been targe, 
they being tho first show over at Junction 
City, Mnryvlllc and other towns. 

Ames' Menagerie has, we are Informed by 
a correspondent, been doing a good business 
since It started from New Orleans. It showed 
at Canton, Miss., on May 0. to a crowded 
canvas. After showing at Jackson and Vlcks- 
burg. two days at ths latter place, ths) 
menagerie made a Jump of sixty miles to 
Brandon, Miss., and showed to a fine after- 
noon house. At tbe finishing of the show a 
heavy rain came up, spoiling Ihe night bouse, 
but it played to f 50. A correspondent says : 
"The ring was yellow flay mud. Watson 
rode bis act with his boots on. He accom- 
plished two somersaults. He la a trump, and 
riding a fine act Hob Smith and John Law- 
ton are dolug the clowning Lawton la pury- 
lng first, 'Bob has charge of the negro show 
also." 

Bryan's Caravan is now in a clear field— 
no opposition. It Is exhibiting throagh tbe 
Northern part of New York State. This 
menagerie enjoys the advantage of having 
intelligent men to explain the various ani- 
mals tn the vast collection. Felix McDonald. 
a young Englishman, who has bad years of 
practical experience in tbe old country, la 
ihe master of the zoological department, and 
right well docs be fulfil tho duties of his 
station. He haa at his disposal a fine assort. 
neat of felines, lions, tigers, leopards, pan- 
thers, servals and congaei, and the manner 
in which ha points out the differences of the 
species, not only entertains the public, but 
Imparts to them valuable Information. The 
circus Is under tbe direction of Jacob 
Showles, who allows nothing to suffer for 
want of attention. 

French's Circus spread canvas at Louisville. 
Ky. on May 18, on tbe comer of Bast and 
Walnut Streets, showing four days to crowd- 
ed homes, hundreds belog turned away every 
evening, unable to gain an entrance. A cor- 
respondent says: "Tho show Is very good 
and bas some good performers. James K. 
Cooke and Madame Do Berg both ride 
good pad acts, Cooke also doing bis leaping, 
and Kelly and Lester do tho horizontal bar 
and trapeze. Chat. Adams, a now English 
clown, Is clever, this being bit first season 
In this co un try . Hr. Bosston manages tho 
ring. Mr. Cole manipulates the pasteboards 
ond greenbacks In the portable box office, 
and finds enough to do, for business Is very 

flood John Robinson comes on tbe same 
ot on Mny 29, bringing tbe champion leaner, 
J. M. Kelley, and the charming Cordelia, one 
ot the best equestrians In the country." 

Gardner ft Kcnyon's Circus pitched tent at 
Lebanon Pa., May 23, and was greeted by a 
very large number of people, extra seats being 
In demand. A correspondent says: "I at- 
tended the circus, and, take It all to all. It 
gives a very clever performance. Tbe prom- 
inent feature of tbe show Is William Morgan. 
the hurdle rider, wbo did a thrilling act of 
horsemanship, executing some difficult feats. 
George Cutler, the cannon tell performer, 
neat appeared, and did a neat act on the 
slack wire. James MrGuIre, ths clown and 
Jester, managed to keep tho spectators In a 
continual roar by his witty Jokes." 

During the removal of the cages of Ames' 
Menagerie at New Orleans the past week, the 
one containing the leopard was overturned 
and the bottom broken out Quick as light- 
ning tbe terrible beast leaped throagh the 
opening and dashed down the street. Pedes- 
trians and vehicles gave him a wldo berth. 
He crossed Canal Street and, continuing bis 
career, finally brought up In a china store on 
Chartres Street. On his entrance the place 
was immediately vacated, and be was left 
undisputed monarch of the premises, The 
keeper here overtook him, and the animal 
promptly submitted himself again to cap- 
tivity.

RAMO REALISM. 

Last week a Ramo Feature firm, entitled 
"The Governor's Ghost," was being shown at 
Fox's Audubon Theatre. In the' course of the 
story there Is a very powerful court room 
scene, In which tbe prisoner Is being tried 
for murder. When the jury filed out to de- 
liberate on the evidence one of Mr, Fox's 
patrons, who is known to him on severe! 
occasions to have been a jury man, was inter- 
ested so much that he also got up and walked 
out After a few moments be returned and, 
KGlng to tbe box office, said: "Mr. Fox, I 
haven't seen the other pictures. I walked 
out thinking I was on the Jury." Mr. Fox 
laughed ana remarked that without doubt 
his friend had for a moment quite forgotten 
lu was In a picture theatre. So much for 
Itarao realism. 



SELIG SNAP-SHOTS. 

As Jono sprang from the brow of Jove 
full panoplied, so the Hearst-Sellg News 
Pictorial, at Its very beginning a per- 
fected product, a vital Illumination, hav- 
ing real news value, bas been accepted by 
the public as the best visual periodical ever 
presented. In this new vitalized weekly tho 
chief crux of advantage is the news knowl- 
edge, and the wonderful facilities associated 
with it for bringing together the great events 
of tbe world's doings.havlng them properly pro- 
portioned and artistically displayed to mako 
them as Informing as they are attractive. 
The newspaper idea Is the basis of the entire 

flan ; tbe modern spirit of time and speed 
aspires it and the choice selection gives It 
value over competitors. Last week tbe lnan- 

Jural of the series presented scenes from 
(evolutionary Mexico, showing the troops 
moving to tbe front, the launching of the 
gunboat "Sacramento," scenes from the 
camps of the various baseball players, the 
coming of Diaz to the United States and tho 
opening of tho British Parliament, The last 
ncene was particularly clear and effective, 
outleaplng all competitors In the matter of 
time. This week the big blizzard in the East 
is pictured, likewise the automobile races of 
Santa Monica, Cal., for the Vanderbllt'Cup; 
likewise tbe big floods in Southern Cali- 
fornia, all news beats. It shows the Cubs In 
training at Marlln Springs, Tex., breaking 
ground for too new Federal ball park in 
Chicago, and the Gasparllla Carnival, at 
Tampa, I'la,, all Interesting features. 

Thomas Peksons. superintendent of the 
8ellg Zoo, at East lake Park, Cal. (the most 
unique and wonderful motion picture estab- 
lishment In tbe world), has been visiting 
headquarters in this city for a week past, 
conferring with W. N. Bellg concerning big 
plans in train for other productions ou the 
princely scale In California. 

Owing to tbe growth of tho moving pic- 
ture business In outlying sections of Chicago, 
there has been steady Improvement In the 
character of the buildings, as well as their 
architectural and their general convenience 
for the public. A few years ago {20,000 to 
$25,000 was regarded as a limit in cost. 
Aow buildings for housing moving pictures 
costing from $70,000 to $100,000 aro a fre- 
quent occurrence. This Idea la extending to 
suburban towns where public spirited cltliens 
take stock to make the moving picture thea- 
tres monumental structures. Last week a 
new moving picture house was announced for 
South Michigan Avenue, to cost $125,000, 
nnd another on the North Shore, it Is esti- 
mated, will cost $20,000 more than this. 

Thb universality of Interest and Informa- 
tion concerning moving pictures and the 
people that vitalize It la astonishing. TJnclo 
Sam's postal clerks arc right on the Job 
when It comes to delivering goods. Last 
week a letter addressed to John Bruce, pic- 
ture player, Los Angeles, was handed to 
Thomas Bantschi, of the Sellg Stock Com- 
pany, with promptitude and without hesi- 
tancy. This epistle had come from an ad- 
miring picture fan In tbe Far East, but the 
ndmlrer forgot to pny tho postage. Conse- 
quently Mr. Snntschl was forced to make a 
cash advance before getting his admiring but 
mysterious missive. John Bruce is the namo

giant is 330 ft long and 00 ft, wide, and 
will be used to accommodate actor folk and 
their wardrobe and properties, the kitchen 
nnd dining rooms, and serve as a modern 
utility building that is now well under way. 
It Is interesting to know that these buildings 
will differ in many ways from any other 
buildings In Italy. One distinct Innovation 
is the Installation of a heating and ventila- 
tion system in accordance with the best 
American practice, something quite new, be- 
cause heating and ventilating problems havo 
never entered into the construction of Italian 
studios. This was one of the effects of the

A pamphlet concerning the rules of the bu> 
reau Is being formulated, and it is expects

Itreltinger announces that he is considering 
the advisability of having one member of

bers of religious bodies on a general advisory

"WHITE SLATE IMCTVRE IX 
PORTLAND. 

A picture film known as "The Inside of 
the White Slave Traffic" will be allowed In 
Portland, Ore. Municipal Judge Stevenson 
gave bis approval to the picture, which the 
local censorship board refused to pass. 
Mayor Albee sought to uphold tbe board 
ana ordered Chief of Police Clark to stop it. 
Then tbe matter went into the Municipal 
Court upon appeal. 

R. E. Alderman, superintendent of city 
schools, told the judge he considered the film 
proper, as it teaches a great object lesson. 
lie thought there should be an age limit, 
however. Circuit Judge Galena favored the 
films. L. L. Levtngs, member of the vice 
commission, said the value of the film is 
that it tends to disabuse the idea that the 
ways of vice are easy and profitable. 

W. H. Warren, representing Mayor Albee, 
objected to the film, cnlefly on the ground 
that it arouses the morbid curiosity, attracts 
by reason of its low moral, and gives the 
Idea a woman In the underworld has an easy 
life and makes money. Mr. Warren also ob- 
jested to the captions. 

Judge Stevenson said he considered the 
film proper. lie said R turns the light on 
the slave business. "In the end," said the 
Judge, "the woman Is punished and not re- 
warded, which makes It educative by sound- 
ing a note of warning." 

Attorney John F. Logan, representing Cal- 
vin Hcllig and Ralph Phncus who have chrtrgo 
of the film, offered to bar persons under 
eighteen years of age. This offer was ac- 
cepted by the judge.

UNIVERSAL MIST VACATE REPUB- 
LIC. SEW YORK. HAMMEHSTEI.V 
W1XS IX DECISION IN HIGHER 
COVRT. 

The Appellate Division of the Supreme 
Court, New York, decided In favor of Oscar 
Hammersteln and against David Bclssco 
last week in a suit In which Hammersteln 
fought to onat the Universal Film Mfg. Co., 
who sublet the premises from Belnrco. Thla 
decision means that moving pictures cannot 
be shown In the Republic at least until the 
suit is finally decided. 

Hammersteln endeavored to secure & tem- 
porary injunction some time ago from 
Judge Seabury on the ground that motion 
pictures were Inimical to the beat interests 
of the Republic, and that Mr. Bolssco had 
rented the theatre with the understanding 
that none but "first class attractions" should 
appear there. 

Judge Seabury denied the Injunction, and 
tie case went to the Appellate Division of 
the Supreme Court, and the film attraction, 
'Traffic In Souls" continued for the time 
being unmolested. 

Mr. Hammereteln stated in his complaint 
before the Appellate Division that when 
drama of the type that Mr. Bela*co present- 
ed at the Republic was on the boards that 
according to the terms of his 'ease some 
?500 a week accrued to his ben.'tlt. 

with moving pictures, however it was dlf. 
fercnt, Mr. Hammersteln stated: His share 
weekly had shrunk to the sum of $80. 

And then there was tic question of addi- 
tional Insurance to be considered. The Re- 
public, Hammersteln said, having to increase 
their policies some $40,000, Inasmuch as the 
New York underwriters place motion pic- 
tures In the "extra' hazardous class." 

In relation to the mooted question of 
whether a theatre would deteriorate with an 
intermittent policy of motion pictures, and 
Mr. Hammersteln strongly Intimated that 'ae 
considered the pictures as a step backward, 
several prominent theatrical managers of- 
fered affidavits, ' giving their views of the 
subject ' Among these were: Daniel Froh- 
man, A If. Hnymari,' Samuel H. : Harris and 
Chas. Bumham, who submitted briefs to the' 
effect that they had exhibited pictures in 
their best houses and followed the films with 
$2 shows, and suffered no 111 effects at tho 
box office. , , 

DAVID BELASCO CONTENDS IT 19 

THE MANNER OF PRODUCING THAT 

COUNTS AND NOT THE PRODUO 

TION. • . 

David Belaeco In defending tho recent and 
more successful attempt on the part of Oscar 
Hammersteln to oust the films from fae Re- 
public, contended that It was more the man- 
ner in which a production wbb presented 
and the house conducted, rather than tho 
style of attraction offered. 

The Higher Court, however, granted Ham- 
mersteln an inunction pendent lite, which 
means that no further motion pictures can 
be projected In the Republic until the suit 
Is finally adjudicated, which may take a long 
period of time.

BIOGRAPH CO. SUED FOR »7B,000- 

GEN. FILM CO. A CO-DEFENDANT. 

The Biograph Co. and the General Film 
Co. were made defendants In a suit for 
$7C,000 last week. 

Jaques Chevalier, a restaurant keeper of 
Seventh Avenue, New York City, is tbo 
plaintiff. 

It Is all over a sub-title used by the Bio- 
graph concern la a picture called "A Fallen 
Angel." , . 

There is a seen© in which the "villain" leads 
a country girl up to a restaurant and tho 
country girl balks. She Blmply will not. enter 
the food emporium. Whether it Is a question 
of preference for the Automat or Chllds' or 
Rector's is not mode clear. At any rate, 
directly after the scene In which the "vlll- 
yun" endeavors to treat aforesaid "llttlo 
country girl" to dinner there is a sub- title 
which reads "this Is not what you promised 
me." 

The Biograph Co., represented by Lawyer 
Gerber, stated that the scene simply showed 
a portion of Chevalier's restaurant sign, 
•which, by the way, projected Borne six feet 
out over the sidewalk. 

The plaintiff conceded that the picture 
was not a "White Slaver," but Insisted that 
he should be awarded an Injunction restrain- 
ing the circulating of the (11m and damages 
to the extent of $70,000. He contended that 
the sub-title tended to lower the standard of 
his restaurant 

Justice Page, In the Supreme Court, where 
the case is being tried, said he would cogi- 
tate for a few days before delivering an 
opinion.

SAMUEL H. LONDON AND HARRY O. 

BOHN FOUND GUILTY IN "INSIDE 

OF WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC" CASE 

—SENTENCE SUSPENDED. 

Samuel H. London, author of the scenario 
of "The Inside of the White Slave Traffic," 
and Harry C. Boon, who was the manager 
of the theatre . In which the film was ex- 
hibited and subsequently ordered withdrawn 
by the New York PoHce Department, were 
found guilty of "conducting an Immoral and 
indecent exhibition" Thursday, March 5 

The trial was held in the Court of General 
Sessions, New York City, and presided over 
by Judge Edward Swann. The Jury, after 
deliberating for the better part of an hour 
brought- In a verdict of gulltv, with a 
"strong recommendation : for-' clemency," 
which was concurred In by the prosecutor, 
District- Attorney. Hsyward. 

In; his charge Judge Swann declared "It 
was the duty of the Jurors to determine the 
moral atmosphere of New York City." 

The two defendants were paro'ed In the 
custody of their counsel, and sentence sus- 
pended. 

After the verdict had been rendered Judga 
Swann thanked the Jury and said : "I have 
no desire to humiliate these men or to pun- 
ish them as Individuals, so I gladly comply 
with your recommendation. It was really 
the motion pltture play Itself that was on 
trial, and In order, .to reach It the District 
Attorney hod to prosecute these men. 
- "It would seem that a largo section of 
our people are sex mad, and such reels as 
this result. I hope your verdict will-tend 
to put a stop to it" The verdict of not guilty 
would bave been a certificate to those- people, 
and they, would bave exhibited the reels all 
over the United States with your stamp of 
approval. 

"How anybody can go to see a show of 
tiat kind. I cant explain. Most peoplo 
would walk miles to avoid It Every decent 
citizen in New York ought to congratulata 
you on that verdict 

"H you perform no other service to the 
community. It seems to me that your servico 
of this day would entitle you to lasting grati- 
tude." 

John B. Stanchfleld, counsel for the de- 
fendants, In summing up, endeavored to 
bring in the Issue of free speech He said 
It was more a question of the foregoing than 
one of morals. - - 

The trial and resultant verdict fixes the 
status of "The Inside of the White Slave 
Traffic" as far as Now York Is concerned. 
It cannot be shown in this city. 

The present case is the first in which a 
Jury has been called upon to decide the merits 
or demerits of a motion picture, regarding 
its moral effect, as public entertainment 

SIMPLEX MACHINE PROJECTS 

"WHITE SLAVE" PICTURE IN 

GENERAL SESSIONS COURT. . 

As an nnique feature of a trial of mors 
than passing Interest a Simplex Projection 
Machine was installed in Part IV General 
Sessions, and the "Inside of the White Slave 
Traffic,", which, as Judge Swann stated, was 
really more to be considered on trial than 
the de fendants. London and Bobn; was 
thrown on an improvised screen Id order that 
the jury might pass unbiased judgment. 
MACHINE INSTALLED IN COURT 

ROOM, UNDER ADVERSE CONDI-, 

TIONS, IN LESS THAN ONE HOUR'S 

TIME. 

It Is interesting to note the accomplish- 
ments of good projection even under adverse 
conditions. Much haste was necessary in 
the. installation of the Simplex machine 
which, due to weather conditions, did not 
reach there till 5.80 p. M. 

Under tbe able supervision of B. F. Por- 
ter things were put through In *J!g time," 
however, and all was ready In one hour. 

The picture (five reels) was projected 
against an ordinary muslin sheet, somewhat 
Rolled and bedraggled, and there wefe many 
disinterested opinions, nil expressing tbe nigh- 
est praise for the excellent projection. The 
machine was enclosed In a booth to conform 
to the fire laws, though the fact tbat Simplex 
is an absolutely enclosed machine makes It 
perfectly fireproof. 

Mr. Potter, who has long been identified 
with the Simplex concern, stated that the In- 
stallation of this machine for this purposa 
was on Its merit alone, and tbat Its selection 
over all others Is a tribute to its excellence.

HOUSE TO OPEN SOON. 

I George Kieine has so many big new photo- 
: drama features ready he Is in a quandary as 
to which one to use for the opening of his 
beautiful new theatre on Forty-second

are Anthony Novell!, Lorenzo Lupl, Slgnora 
'i'crrtbilll and Slgnorlna Matllde di Maralo. 
The Interior decorations of the theatre will 
be In exquisite harmony, and the lobby and 
foyer will be one of the costliest and most 
unique In the city of New York. 

KLE IKE'S "POMPEII" STOPS STREET 
CARS IN DEADWOOD. 

A remarkable Instance of the enthusiasm 
exhibited by townsfolk over a motion pic- 
ture comes to George Klelne's offices in a 
report from the Minneapolis office. Starting 
Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 2.80. "The Last Days 
of Pompeii" was run for five continuous 
shows. They were not able to let anyone out 
of the front of tbc house until the end of tho 
list show. They had the street cars blocked 
in front of the Louse, so tbat tbey could not 
run. Mr? Remington, manager, called on the 
superltendcnt of schools, with the result 
that school was let out early, and the 
teachers and pupils took in the second show. 
Bays the report, "on Monday night they 
liroke up everything ^at could be broken In 
front of the house, trying to get In. Mr. 
Itemlngton stands six feet, and weight over 
tlireo .mndred pounds, so we guess he man- 
aged it all O. K," 

SAFETY PROJECTION DEVICES— AN 

INCIDENT OF '09, SHOWING THE 
IMPROVEMENTS OF TO-DAY. 

F. B. Cannock, secretary of the Precision 
Machine Co., makers of the Simplex Pro- 
jector, It a well known expert operator. 

Maay years ago be was operating a ma- 
chine one night at the Fifth Avenue Theatre. 
Safety devices were few In tfcose days, and 
this particular machine had, for a lower 
magaiine, an open bag whlci hung over the 
balcony, into which the film was run. 

During the running of the picture Can- 
nock had trouble with his lamp, and bis bag 
overflowed. He was interrupted by an usher 
with: 

"Say, old man, your film has traveled up 
to the orchestra pit and back." 

Wi&t would have hnppencd to tbat film 
If a live natch had touched It 

(Machines are built differently to-day, and 
the hag has given place to enclosed maga- 
zines. 

It Is of note, that the Simpler machine, 
of which Mr, Cannock Is the Inventor, Is the 
only machine on the market whose mechan- 
ism Is entirely enclosed. It Is entirely pro- 
tected, and absolutely fireproof. 

GOOD PROJECTION. 

■The Great Leap" and "The Three Mus- 
keteers," at the New York Theatre, and "The 
Gangsters,'" at Weber's Theatre, New York, 
•re feature shows notable for their clear pro- 
jection. These productions use the 6lmplex 
Projector. 
SOCIETY TANGOES FOR THE MOVIES. 

The Colorado Moving Picture Company 
opened a new studio in Canon City by giving 
a tango tea. The guests were Aimed by the 
camera man as tbey executed the latest steps 
In the Argentine tango. Maxlxe hesitation 
and one-step. 

Some of the pictures taken are front a 
ectne In a three-reel photoplay entitled "The 
Range War," that this company Is aew pro- 
ducing for Warner's Features, Inc. 

Upon the conclusion of the dance tea was 
serve at the Hotel Denton. The guests, 
which wis largely from the younger set, 
.will later have the pleasure of seeing them- 
selves ss others see them. Miss "Jo West," 
os the guests were departing, said : "I would 
rather ride the wildest horse on earth than 
to -tango tor It Isn't as near hard work." 
NEW OATNTIER STUDIO SECOND TO 
HONE. 

The new studio of the Gene flaotler Play- 
ers whoro photoplays of a distinctive char- 
acter are produced for Warner's Features, 
Inc., Is completed, and with Its splendid 
lighting system and commodious rooms will 
rank second to none In the country. 

Miss Gnuntler has been slowly organising 
tier permanent stock company with the view 
of surrounding herself with a galaxy of 
stars to render finished dramatic pjrtrnyils. 

Harold Lyons will take charge of the pho- 
tographic department and Allan Oarnhaca 
supervision of the stndlo. Mr Qarnham hae 
been, with Miss Qaontler for four years, ard 
Was with her on her trips abroad, and like- 
wise It was his genius that was rcipnns'ble 
for the scenery In "From tbe Manger to the 
Cross." 

A massive picture is now being produced 
tint deals with a modern society pint, and 
those who have seen the settings for this 
feature proclaim unanimously It tn be a 
superb picture for Warner's Features, Inc.. 
program. 



INTERNATIONAL HAS A TON OF 
MONEY. 

With a half million perching on the <utfe 
shelves, the International Feature Film 
Corp., Ltd., of Canada, baa spread Itself over 
mighty well nigh over all of tbe moving pic- 
ture sections of the map of the Dominion. 
Its big slogan Is "Features, Features, Fea- 
tures. Good, Better, Best." 



Gray and gold are the colors of tbe new 
ganlzatlon — gray for brains and gold for 
cash. They've Been mixed with liberal bands. 



and tbe exhibitors may depend upon seeing 
aometbtng happen. 

Herbert Lubln. who grew up with the "pic- 
ture" business. Is tbe president and general 
manager. A young man with lots of willing- 
ness. It is said of htm that a mountain or a 
river couldn't separate him from a dollar. he 
could honestly earn. 

A. E. Moeremans Is provincial manager. 
He acquired competence with Gaumont and 
the Mutnal. and now knows so many ex- 
hibitors that he can't walk along the street 
with bis bat on for more than half a block.

Handford," because tie couldn't help it when 
lip played In tbe outfield In tbe International 
Baseball League, has laid aside tbe glove and 
■Billow and will bat out features to exhibitors

the new organization's representative.

"Flying A," release of Wednesday, March 
25, features Ed. Coxen as lead, and George 
Field, as the deep-dyed villain. 

Splendid dramatic work is done by the 
entire cast, which comprises the principals 
of the Tom Ricketts' Company. The scenario 
was written by George Field. 

AN EASON DUMMY. 

Beaves Eason stops at the Edgerly Court, 
at Santa Barbara, and when, on last Sunday 
eve, be entered he was rather surprised to 
find the "welcome" Invitation on the door 
mat and not only entered but proceeded to 
make himself thoroughly at home. When 
Easoa looted at his bed he found it occu- 
pied, but imagine his state of mind when he 
recognized the wearing apparel of his visitor 
as his own. Anyone with a temperance 
pledge would have secured a signature on tbe 
dotted line. When he recovered his mental 
equilibrium be learned that the figure was 
only a dummy, and that his friends had 
evidently put over a good one. 
ED. SEDGWICK JOINS THE LI BIN CO. 

Ed. Sedgwick, a well known actor in both 
vaudeville and musical comedy, has deserted 
the stage in favor of tbe movies, and is at 
present time with the Lubln Co., under the

veston, Tex.

stakes is Anna Held, who would like to

alleging to her complaint that the company

"THE BILLIONAIRE," FIRST K. A E.- 
BIO. COMEDY, HOLDS INTEREST. 

"The Billionaire," one thno musical com* 1 - 
sdcccss of a season or so scone has been 
done In pictures by tbe K. 4 E.-Ulo. film 
producing combination. The photoplay was 
shown for the first time at Loow's American, 
New York, last week, and held the Interest 
of the auditors from start to finish. It has 
been said, and Justly so, that it is a rather 
difficult matter to sustain toe Interest In a 
Htm comedy for more than two reels, but 
the scenario writer and director bare ably 
demonstrated the fact, hi this Instance, how- 
ever, tbat there are exceptions to tbe rule. 

The acting for the better pert Is good, and 
the big scenes capably handled. 

There are several first rate low comedy 
situations tbat coax the unwilling laughter in 

falea, AH in ail, the first comedy release 
rom tbe K. A E. shop offers fine entertain- 
ment 

HARRIS GORDON WITH VICTOR. 
Harris Cordon, who played Juvenile leads 
with tbe Reliance Co., is presently engaged 
In the same capacity In the service of the 
Victor. 

SENTENCE SUSPENDED. 
Judge 8wann, in General Sessions, sus- 
pended sentence Msrch on Samuel A. Lon- 
don and Harry Bobm, found guilty of having 
produced an Indecent play at tbe Park Thea- 
tre, where they gave "The Inside of the 
White Slave Traffic" in moving pictures. 

Immediately afterwards London and John 
J. Heagoy pleaded guilty to an Indictment 
charging a similar offense on another date, 
and again sentence was suspended. 

ences. Edna Malson, as Kate, brought out 
the self sacrificing side of tbe character in 
a beautiful manner. In Mr. Turner's next 

£ reduction, a three reel Boer story, Edna 
talson has a sympathetic, emotional part 
written witU her In view. She Is veryhappy 
in her position with Otis Turner. William 
Wortbington and Ed Alexander have Joined 
Mr. Turner's company. Frank Lloyd Is still 
a member. 

BEAUTirrt. Cleo Madison now leads her 
own company, with Wilfred Lucas as direc- 
tor. Ray Gallagher will be In the company, 
which Is not fully formed yet This la good 
news for the photoplay fans for Cleo Madi- 
son simply burat in to tbe silent drama and 
took It by storm, leaving an assured stage 
career for an equally certain screen success. 
She will appear In dramas and psychological 
plays, and it is an open secret that negotia- 
tions are pending with a noted author and 
his publisher for the reproduction of one 
or two big works, which will place Miss 
Madison upon a high pinnacle Indeed. Some 
Oriental plays are also being considered. 

Has anybody got a white bandy-legged 
bulldog with a kind heart? Margarita 
Fischer's own specifications regarding her 
requirements. Bull terriers need, not apply. 
Also. Harry Pollard wants a new second 
wind. He is taking up handball to keep 
down the too, too solid, etc 

Thr one month old daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. Sydney Ayres was recently presented 
with a gold lined loving cap by the "Flying 
A" players. 

It is needless to say tbat the orlde of the 
parents because of Ann Louise's popularity 
knows no bounds. The parents would like 
the cherub to appear In "Flying A" subjects, 
but because of the natural attributes of Ann 
she more logically comes under the classifica- 
tion of "American Beauty," and possibly 
Harry Pollard, director of the "Beauty" com- 
pany, will be successful in adding her to hli 
staff. i 

THIS Is the second experience Wallle Van 
has had with Vltagraph horses, and It's proof 
positive that he Is no horseman. Lillian 
Walker and he were out ilelgh-riding recent- 
ly and the horse attached to their sleigh be- 
came frightened at a anowman which some 
boys had Just finished, and ran away. Wallle 
managed to keep tbe horse on the road until 
he got to Ocean Parkway. The horse turned 
on the speed and made the snow fly. John 
Bonny and Maurice Costello. who were com- 
ing along In their autos, saw the condition of 
things, and started In pursuit Lillian clung 
to wallle with a vengeance which seemed 
to Inspire him with confidence, but It was 
all to no purpose. The horse evidently de- 
ciding to get off the road and ont of the way 
of the autos, started serosa lots. This would 
have been all right If he had not made bis 
way Into a deep gully which was filled with 
snow. Mr. Horse went In np to his neck, 
the sleigh was overturned and Its occupants 
■were burled tn the poetic " beautiful." Mau- 
rice Costello. who had the advantage of less 
nvolrdupols. was on tbe scene far in advance 
of Runny, who arrived some time lfter the 
precltltated players bad been extricated from 
the snow by Costello and was giving his at- 
tention to the horse. Aside from a ten 
porary scare, no serious damage was done, 
although the sleigh will have to be sent to 
the repair shop, and John Bunny will nave 
to wait for tbe Summer time before he does 
any more cross-country runs. It Is no wonder 
that so many persons want to be moving 
picture players, there la so much excitement 
and romance attached to the vocation. 

Wrtu reports of "cutting companies" and 
"retrenching" float all around tbe producing 
end of the Industry, C. J. Hlte has quietly 
signed three more leading people for the 
ThanbouBer Company. They are Morris Fos- 
ter, for general leads ; Arthur Bower, for 
character leads, and Fan Bourke, for comedy 
leads. In conformance with the usual Then- 
liouser policy, It Is the first time in pictures 
for all three. That Is, "In pictures" this side 
of the water. Bower worked for a European 
studio some years ago. Morris Foster's ca- 
reer started In 1003 at the Central Theatre, 
Kan Francisco, where Lawrence Griffith was 
"heavy man" at an ordinary salary, and 
didn't dream of moving pictures. Later

After all that has been said, done and

to blnnto for the evil ? Nobody but the pub- 
lic. Tho peoplo rave and curse about ticket 
scalpers, but how long would this particular 
gentry exist without said public coin? Just 
as long as the traditional snowball In tbe 
oft-mcutloned warm place. And there you 
are, or thereabouts. 

It's not to be wondered at that tho 
"movlo" theatres aro packing them in. Their 
motto Is: "First come, first served." The 
legitimate managers' motto is : "First come, 
nineteenth row. 

But what's the use? 

Barnuu said something one time about 
"ono being born every minute 7 ," nnd so long 
ns they nre tbo ticket scalpers will exist. 

Don't have the least Idea of what Kathlyn 
Williams pulls down per, but If she dt.l all 
the things those pictures show she's welcome 
to yank down every cent her press agent 
claims she yanks.

you think you'vo taken n post-graduatd courso 
go down and look this pair over, nnd unless 
you are top-heavy with conceit you'll agrco

Where can a man buy a cap for his knee?

Can his eyes bo called an academy

In the crown of his head what gems are set? 

Who travels the bridge of his nose? 
Can he use when shingling the roof of his

Tho nails on tho ends of his toes? 

What docs he ralso from a slip of bis tongue? 

Who plays on the drums of his ears? 
And who can tell the cut and stylo 

Of the coat his stomach wears? 

Can the crook of his elbow be Bent to Jail? 

And If so, what did It do? 
How docs he sharpen his shoulder blades?

MY TRIBUTE TO CIRCUS F0l£" 



nT BOO. WiUDKLL, 



I rm looking backward to-day. The i'ait Is 
panorama of memories dear. Th« Present Is mir- 
ror reflecting tho treasured gecmee of the "long; 
•to." 1 often alt olono with thought at full veut 
upon the threads of Time, - that now are woven 
Into lostered page, which seems to read: "Tbe 
Put rise* like a Dream." In this Dream, I (to 
the "White Tops" and tho meet recollections that 
clatter to canvas, (wnvlunt, go/ rope, pole, 
waron, bonw and spangle. Bless It all. and each 
■nil everyone who has, who doei, and who will ex- 
perience the Ins and ogta. the upa and dovrnt, tbe 
Joys and sorrows, tbe sunshine and the storm of 
Olrcua Life. No matter where I roam; or what 
I do, never will I raise mr hand or my voice 
against tbe "White Top" Hxlatence. It Is an 
oasts of Inspiration, grand and refreshing. May 
my laat words contain blewwd mention of the Cir- 
cus World, whore 1 was cradled, reared, educated, 
and graduate!. I have yet to know of any well- 
balanced Boy or Girl, wbi came up In Olrcua Life 
that failed to grow to splemAId Man and glorlons 
Woman. Tlioao possessed of Common Sense, who 
have had Circus Experience, make good In any 
position, place, or power, and outclass othera born 
and nourished and groomed where all paths are 
Itose strewn and laden. 

The Charily of Circus. People la boundless. Un- 
told, unsung, unpublished, they bestow It "here 
•nd there and everywhere." A alnglo heartbeat 
en Olrcus Lot for suffering humanity is sacred to 
Cod and Angels ond All Aoovc, more so, I believe, 
than all the Anthems of Church and Cbolr. 

The nnttlated talk of lha universal cry of the 
"While Top" Way, that offering of voice which 
spells "Hey Hubs," but only those, who have 
marshalled under Its spell and sway, know tho full 
meanlnjr, that It la a living, almost breathing, 
an Eternal Monument of sound an echo to the 
loyalty and the Kever-Suy-DIo qiiallliee of flesh 
and blood notikcsscd by Circus Folk alone. 

To the Immense Outside, the Oitliensblp who 
attend the tented shows, and who are titled, "The 
Public," In directory and consul report, permit me 
to say : 



Awaken to Truth. 
Lay aalde Blander of an Existence yon know 
not of. Talk and Live and Act the 
Golden Kulo. That's All I 



From almost every avenue has come the Kvaugo- 



Hst. The Circus World, 'tis true, haa never had 
•ucb representative. Hear me I I may become 
tho known Olrcus Divine, and if I do, mark tbla. 
for once the truth about the Big Show World 
will blase upon the scrolls of every known device 
of telling, heart-reaching, aoul-aavlng publicity, 
the sort and kind that seems to have beau cast 
•side when St. Paul ceased bla gospelshlp. 

Bless saints aud sinners among ui. and wherever 
found I Together, say ever again the simple 
prayers learned at Mother's knees, and *:aatcn 
back to do the teaching* given yon by She. who 
anirrered that you might be. Shower upon all 
among us, from humblest canvas man to tbe 
crowned King of Showmen, chotceat hallowed 
uleaslnin. Aud wlah for all our Dead, awect. on- 
dlaturbed rest and nonce, until tbe Mom of Resur- 
rection, lire, *«**, do pood, laugh, play and pray / 

Tnxss are In tbe In-between-days— by that I 
mean, tho days Intervening between the old sea- 
son and tbe new. tbe period when tittle la stirring 
and everybody Is waiting- 

Soon Spring will be here, and Nature, will as- 
ammo a verdant garb. 

-The blrdat will be singing, and all will bo Joy. 
The white topi, right out of the factory, will le 
spread i i>«n the grassy Iota, and after some weeks 
of inertia, the tent show boys will get to work. 

I am frank to say that In spite of the fact that 
our duties In looking after affairs at tbe Western 
Bureau of Tna Nbw Yonst Cupi-rs occupy hours 
of close application, that there comes the longing 
tor the smell of the sawdust, a desire u> hear the 
merry quip of the circus harlequin, to Join with 
tbe bora in the privilege car, snd to participate 
with the ruralltea In their enjoyment of tbe street 
parade. 

Aa George Oohan saya: "l.lfe Is a fanny pro- 
position after all," and it soomo Impossible to get 
away from the glamour of the white tops. 

There will bo unusual activity In tho carnival 
Held this coming season, and from a careful sur- 
vey of tbe situation, I am inclined to believe that 
the carnival entertainment to bo offered will be 
of a moat interesting nature. 

Thla la an age of progress, and tent show man- 
agers wbo expect to make, money must thoroughly 
underrtrnd that it will he absolutely essential for 
them to keep abreast of the times. The days of 
tbe rag front and the hsoky pa nky shows are 
over, The American public haa grown to expect 
real valne for their money. 

It will be my pleasure to visit many of the 
circus, Wild West and carnival aggregations this 
coming season, and the readers of Taa Old Hi- 
hauls will be kept In touch with developments 
as they srlae from time to time.

OTHERS. 



sr n.rrciiE» smith. 



Manager Charles Spark* believes that this sea- 
ion he bis surrounded himself with the best ex- 
ecutive stair in the history of the show, and 
with everyone loyal and working together In per- 
fect hcrmony nothing hut good can result. O. 
B. Fredericks has been engaged as legal adjuster 
and manager of the privilege car, and the Gov- 
ernor la well pleased over receiving his signed 
contract. The past Winter Mr. Frederick* has 
been manager of the Rood:. Royal Winter Circus, 
and comes with the highest recommendations. 

James Randolph, who, for years has lieen s 
faithful employee of the thow "> boss billposter 
and last season special agent, las received de- 
served promotion and has been appointed mana- 
ger of the new advance car. He will have a 
crew of fourteen men and one of the moat palatial 
1.111 car* ever put ont on the road by any show. 
Jim la expected in quarters very shortly, from 
his home In Oklahoma. 

A. W Day. an ex-camlval man, has been se- 
cured as twenty-four hour inan, succeeding Guy 
Illldebrsod. air. Day is said to be a bustler, 
and knows the business thoroughly. 

O'Ndl and Janlel, Roman ring experts and 
head to bead balar.cers, have been ndded to rbe 
hlg show performance and several more funny 
folk* will cut caper* on the track before tho 
big show opens. 

General Agent Ballings- was sent upon a 
special trip to Now York and the East, recently, 
and has just returned enthusiastic over the urea- 
pects In that section. He report* the country In 
splendid condition, money In pienty, and the out- 
look tho brightest In Vermont. Now Hampshire 
and Maine. Despite the opposition up there the 
Sparks' Show expects to get its chare of the 
business a* the show left a Una reputation there 
two year* ago. 

W. David Colin, brother of Guy O'hn. trap- 
drummer with the show, lias signed as General 
promoter with the Herbert A. Kline hhow this 
season. Lost season he was with Con T. Ken- 
nedy, snd la well known among the carnival 
folks. 

Gordon Ortou, at one time a member of the 
Orton Family, will be with tho How's London 
Show this season. 

Obarlea Cooper, who has been In quarters all 
Winter, has left for Birmingham, where be will 
have the side show canvas with the Kit Carson 
Wild West. Charlie is one of tbe real old timers 
and a good fellow all the way through. Everyone 
wishes him the best of luck. He would have 
been right at home with tbe Sparks Show this 
season as the Orton Family will be one of the 
leading features, and he Is uncle of tbe bunch. 

Dan Wilson, who, two yean ago was night 
watchman en the train, baa been re-engaged ana 
will be back with the eliow this season. Dan is 
•s fat as ever and will bring his appetite with 
him as usual. . . 

Tom Finn write* that be will close his opera 
house attraction April IB, and will put ont a 
wagon "Tool" show thli season. He says never 
again wIH he manage a wagon circus, and will 
lu the future stick to "Tom," hut that Is not 
snylng that he did not make money with his 
little circus. — 

Joe McAllister, for several years clown with 
the «how and the originator of the baseball game 
here, will he with the Gllllsple Show this season. 

Joe Hodge Is fronting up a straw pit show to 
be nlneod with the Sparks' Show this reason. He 
la In Salisbury at present, making the necessary 
■rransementa. 

Jack l'bllll|« the band-master with the show, 
is sending n circular letter to all of his friends 
offering to lot them in on ibo ground floor In a 
new company he la forming to market a new 
bean product- The name of tho corporation is 
Loud & Strong, with olBcea in Now York. 

There Is a vast difference in eamivnl agents 
just as there Is in men. A while ago tbe general 
agent of one o' the big ones quietly clipped Into 
town and alimct closed a .teal before it was 
known that ho waa here at all. Then Kome got 
busy, and there waa somo fun for a whllo This 




week a young nan claiming to represent a carni- 
val with heariquarbnra In Buffalo, arrived, aud 
scrawled his iiMv» on tbe register of the princi- 
pal hotel here with tbe name of bis show In big 
letter* trailing behind. Result, someone gets 
busy again, and Mr. Agent finds be Is up tgalnst 
a touxb proposition. Salisbury think, too much of 
tbe Sparks' febow to kilt the town entirely be- 
fore me opening date. The enly thing tbe last 
agent needed to let everyone know be was trying 
to come here vaa a sign on his back. By word 
of mouth almost anyone In earshot knows now 
that he represents tie biggest thing In the carni- 
val line.

A SHOWMEN'S IMRTY IN NUKVA LAREDO, MBX, FED. 10, 1014. 



NOTES FROM THE WASHBURN 
SHOWS. 

That veteran showman, Leon Washburn, an- 
nounces the continuance at tbe Winter quarters 
In Chester of the busy and enterprising at- 
mosphere of "hustle" which has been in evi- 
dence since New Years. General Agent Victor 
D. Levitt las returned from a six weeks' sojourn 
one tbe road, during which he has succeeded In 
"signing up" practically the entire lesson, with 
the exception of a few comparatively unimportant 
town*. Mr. Levitt's reputation among com- 
mittee* is a most enviable one, and his well 
known business ability and absolute hostility to 
misrepresentation have been of great assistance 
to him In arranging his route. So well known, in 
fact, has the original Victor become among mu- 
nicipal and fraternal organization* that the mere 
knowledge of his connection with *ny amusement 
enterprise seems to be a sufficient guarantee of 
its excellence, and be has bad very little "talk- 
ing" to do, so far. In cities where he is per- 
sonally acquainted. He will be ably assisted 
during the regular season by hii son, Philip, 
who seems to have Inherited a great deal of his 
energetle parent'* diplomacy and tact. 

Mr. Washburn announces also the purchase of 
a large consignment of animals, which will not 
be trained Immediately, but gradually "broken 
in" and added to the large groups as occasion 
requires. The death of two or three very val- 
uable beasts last sesson, while not seriously 
crippling the Washburn) anlmsl sets then with 
the Francis Fersxl Snow), strengthened hi* re- 
solve to have ■ reserve supply of educated beasts 
constantly on band In tbe future, to he drawn on 
in case of emergency. In addition 'to the "re- 
serve" above mentioned, there will be another 
group of performing lions added to the arena, 
making three In all; a group of royal Bengil 
tigers, two group* of leopards, a group of 
wolves and pumas working together, and a mixed 
group of hyenas, bears and hybrids, wltb 
"Harry," a big Numldlsn lion. In the middle. 

Madame Pauline will handle one troop of 
leopards, and Pro*. Sardo, the other; Mons, Her- 
bertlno. one gronp of lions. Mile. Flora, one. and 
Col. Delahaye. the third troupe. The tlaers will 
be bandied hy Prof. Oalhoun. tbe wolves and 
pumas will be worked by Major Benson, while 
Herbertlno again will appear as director of the 
big "mixed" group. 

"Young Henderson," the well known light- 
weight, will appear In the arena as the sparring 
partner of "Australian Bob," the boxing kan- 
garoo. 

The Motordrome will be a feature of the shows 
again this season, an entire new outfit being 
now In process of construction. "Dare Devil 
Harrington" and the "Wild Irishman" McGinn 
will be featured In this department, while the 
race riding will be executed by Jim Oliver. Terry 
O'Neill, Joe Lavallette and "Sandy" MacTavlsh. 
The "Seven-In-One" show will contain a num- 
ber of new living curiosities, the recent visit of 
Sam Gumperts to Europe having been productive 
of great results, several human belnss of struct- 
ural oddity, hut singularly attractive both In 
mentality and personality, having been secured 
across the ocean. The day of maimed, idiotic, 
degenerate and physically disgusting freaks has 
long been past, and the management of tbe Wash- 
bnrn enterprise have, thanks to the indefatlgo- 
bllity of Mr. Gumperts. seenred a "seven-ln-one" 
which Is absolutely "gilt-edged" In every respect. 
The dog, pony and monkey circus will be an- 
other feature upon which a large amount of 
money has been spent, special high backed opera 
chairs having been Installed, and * novel method 
of packing these for transportation— an Invention 
of Mr. Washburn's — serving to minimize space la 
the wagons. Elaborate new harness and trap- 
rings are now la process of manufacture at tbe 
■•quarters." snd several new educated canines 
have been added. Including eight somersault dorrs. 
Hannibal, the "ape with the college education." 
whom scientists have stated 1* a duplicate of the 
famous "Neanderthal man." or link, recently ev- 
humed in Germany, will be the feature of this de- 
partment. 

Oklahoma Bill's Wild West, rmder the per- 
sonal direction of Mnjor Ohas. F. Rhodes, in I 
presenting "Frontier Days" with on all star east 
of cowboys and long-haired Indians, lnclinllne 
Texas Hank, Cherokee Slim. Broncho Pete. Dead- 
Shot Harrv and Mexican Manuel; Rollins Thun-

GREAT SOUTHERN SHOWS, 



ST J. O. WOOZSKT. 



TiLiAbEOA, Ala., March T fSpecial to THt 
Clifpzb. — A visit to Harrington's Great South- 
ern Shows gives one a vivid idea of the vast 
amount of work that has heeo accomplished dur- 
ing the Winter Benson, while the show moved 
along every week. The young hustling mana- 
ger's slogan is and always has been "Improvement 
ever, retrogression never," and from the general 
appearance of the Great Southern Shows Man- 
ager Harrington followed the lines of hla slogan 
carefully. 

The regular season of 1014 And* th? show 
larger and more resplendent than ever, with sev- 
eral Innovations that will have a tendency to 
arouse unusual interest that will appeal to the 
natives at all times. Con Williams, the Mil- 
waukee (Wis.) ship carpenter, assisted by several 
mechanics, has been busily engaged building new 
fronts, stages, bally platforms and ticket boxes, 
and the well known scenic artist and decorator, 
John Leonard, has completed new sets of scenery 
for each attraction, and the fronts In wiiite and 
gold leaf, present a classy, dean appearance. 

The show Is now In Its fifty-sixth consecutive 
week, and from all appearances the people, in- 
dividually, are exceptionally prosperous, and I 
am positive Manager Harrington is satisfied with 
his end of tho business. 

Mansger Ltarrlngton hi* surrounded himself 
with an efficient staff. Louis J. Berger, Doc Long 
and your humble servant, the writer, relieve him 
of advance worry; Mrs. William T. Harrington, 
treasurer; R. O. Kennedy, lot superintendent; 
William Gibbons, master transportation ; Jlmulc 
Miller, matter electrician; Philip Panzarl, di- 
rector Italian hand; Walter Johnson, director 
colored band ; Con Williams, secretary snd Cur- 
l'Ea agent; John Leonard, scenic artist and deco- 
rator, and Art Gibson, courier. 

Tbe feature attraction for 1014 1* tbe TcsrIo 
Show, offering Mist Tessle, Parisian terrxlchorean 
artiste, surrounded by nine other principals snd 
a chorus of ten beauties (.elected from the gar- 
den of stage pulchritude of New York and Chi- 
cago. Three popular musical comedies are pre- 
tested in tabloid form every week and no ex- 



pence has been spared on these attractions or on 
tbe tented theatre equipment. The bally is one 
of tbe strongest ever produced. Twenty per- 
formers, beautifully costumed, a twelve plece* 
Itallan band, a talker in full dress, end all 
bncked with an elaborate front in white and 
gold leaf, wltb plush draperies and two hundre.1 
white and colored lights. Napoleon may have 
been proud at the Battle of the Pyramids, but 
one should see Harrington when a bally start* 
on the Tessle Show, and well be may feel proud, 
as the whole is an entrancing spectacle, and better 
still, is a money getter. Quality sui« counts row- 
e-dsys in the carnival game. 

J. J. Todd's Old Time Circus Side Show and 
London Dime Museum, featuring Bobby, the Craw. 
Osh boy ; Salamander, the electric marvel ; James 
Saddler, the human skeleton, and Eight cages or 
animals, are grinding them In. Todd Is a fine 
fellow, and has a frame-up that Is Just a little 
ahead of the times. 

Frankle Waddell and his Georgia Minstrels, 
augmented with a noisy band, never fnlis to re- 
lieve the dusky populace of their small change. 

Tubby Snyder's motordome, under the direction 
of Ohas. Sturme; Kantz's Euronein Flea Circus. 
Panrarl'i Joylrnd. Jos Burforu's Seola Show. 
Inman's Ferris Wheel, and French & Ifulbollsnd's 
galloping bone machine, constitute the remainder 
of the paid attractions at this writing. Prof. 
Panzarl and his twelve select musicians are re- 
ceiving comment all along the line. The spec- 
tacular Mozette Show that was completely de- 
stroyed by Ore reentry, will be replnced as soon- 
as the new spread of canvas arrives. 

An Educated Horse Show and Trip to Mars. i» 
two platform and a mechanical show are due to 
arrive next week, as well as several other con- 
cessions. 

My what a hustling bunco of concessioners. 
Boobs and yearlings are as extinct as a bowl- 
weevll Is In Madison Square Garden. Strolling 
down Harrington's "Great White Wat" you meet 
"Kokomo Jim" Aorons presiding over his pillow, 
bear, doll, ham snd candy wheels, ss well as 
novelties. Jim will Inform you he bis the X on

WILLIAK T. HABkWOTON, KVltni UM- 

ger of the Great SoBthern Bhows. In the 



opinion of his friends and associates is 
steadily climbing the ladder of carnival fame. 
The Great Southern Shows are now entering 
upon- their second year, and we are Inclined 
to give William T. Harrington and Lewis J. 
Barter credit for being somebody In tbe car- 
nival business. Several carnival novelties 
and innovations are planned by William T. 
rthlch will be sprung at tbe opening of ths 
1314 season. They do tell ua that they will 
make some of the older ones alt np ana tako

William T. Hibbinqton's Gbeat South- 
rar< Brows conalat of ten tented attractions

nnd twenty-nine concessions, the feature 
being the "Tessle Show," a musical comedy 
with nineteen people. The front la rtry 
swell and done In white and gold. Charle] 
Sturm has tbe motordrome. During a atom 
in Roanoke, Ala., recently, tbe Motette Show 
was entirely deatroyed by Ore. This hap- 
pened it 8 i. ii, All of the wagons were 
burned, and had It not been for quick work 
tbe entire Midway would probably have gone 
down in flames. The loss of this attraction 
rimounted to about 11,600. 

J. J. Todd (once, or maybe twice, a pro- 
moter) has an old time circus aide show 
wltb Harrington's Great Southern Shows. 
He features Bobby, the crawfiab boy. and la 
dorn? well. Joe Borford, of circus fame, also 
has a show with tbe Great Southern Shows.

day, Feb. 28, by special request of the busi- 
ness men tt that city, who had arranged a

J. M. Sdllivan, he's all peeved now. J. U. 
saya: "A merchant sells bla neighbor fc bill 
of goods, for which he cannot collect. He 
aues In court for the amount of the bill ; 
his social, moral and business standing <n 
the community Isn't changed tbe least bit 
by the airing of bla troubles In court He 
Isn't called a 'sneak,' a 'rat' or a 'copper' 
by his neighbors, 8o why la It on a 'show' 
that the conditions are absolutely the re- 
versed to what they are In a so-called legiti- 
mate bualnesa? On a 'show' It's all right 
for the 'big fellows' to pursue any course 
that they see fit to obtain their ends, where 
the 'little fellow' happens to be In debt to 
them. He ts called a 'sneak.' a 'rat' and a 
'copper.' There Is no equity in tbla It 
must be a case of the king can do no wrong." 
Note.— Get J. M. to give you a diagram of 
tbla. You may be able to figure It out. The 
same thing might have happened to yon. 

Wiiilb holding tbe npper hand it la Just 
as well that you be modest In doing so.

Dos'- try to bulla the superstructure of 
n carnival organization wlta misrepresenta- 
tion and false promise*, and questionable 
methods. If yonr ultimate intentions are not 
honorable the thing will fall down. And If 
you don't look out you might be under, and 
If you are It might hurt you. Competition la 
tbe life of trade, bat It should be open com- 
petition where all of the competitors are 
present At least those who desire a prise. 

Thsj De Moulin Brothers are gradually 
convincing the carnival managers rant tbelr 
employees should be uniformed. Bed Onion 
thinks that everybody around tbe show ex- 
cept the executive staff and talkers should 
wear befitting costumes. He also believes 
that every large earn val should carry a 
tailor barber and boot-black. These should 
be made regular concesalona wltb every first 
class organization. Those who cannot keep 
up a neat appearance Soould be requested to 
go some place else. Look like a gentleman 
although ft pains yoa. Yoa can't do It? Ain't 
no such a thing as can't

Leo Coblit saya that Eugene P. McKennn 
sat up all one nlgbt recently trying to figure 
out what It cost for n human fish In a pit 
show to eat under water. After a aleepless 
night he found ont that one day tbe human 
flBh drank forty-eight bottlea of soda water 
and ate a bunco and a half of bananaa, the 
cost of which totaled one day more than the 
gross receipts of the show. Eugene P. the 
next day bad a sign printed and tacked npon 
the ticket box, "thla show for aa'e." Now we 
know why the human fish wi '» to stay 
under, water all of the time.

K. « B. SIAKB STATEMENT. 

Klaw A Erlanger caused the following state- 
ment to be -printed last week In the programs 
of all their theatres, together with the full pro- 
vision, of the Btotldsrl Antl-tlcket Speculator 
Bill now pending In the Legislature: 

"The Anti-Ticket Speculating Bill Is placed in 
this program so that the theatregoers who have 
suffered through the nuisance and evil of ticket 
(•peculation may place the blame when It properly 
belongs, as It Is our firm belief that this set, If 
passed snd enforced, would absolutely eliminate 
ticket speculating and coofJoe tickets to the box 
offices of theatres, where they should be to be 
sold to the public, a-.id we do not believe any 
other measure now before the municipal or State 
law-making body would be effective.

The Blsbee Players, under the management ot 
Kenneth Blsbee, which bis held the boards at 
the Samuels Opera House, Jamestown, N. Y.. 
for the greater part of the season, ended the

oeen <od Gertrude Fowler were the leads with

offered at moderate prices, yet the patronage was 
never large, and, apparently, residents of James- 
town do not care for stock. Manager Connelly, 
of the theatre, will play the regular road attrac- 
tions for the remainder of the season.

of Common Pleas In deciding that the majority 
stockholders of the Wm. l'enn Theatre. Philadel- 
phia, had a right to lease the theatre to the 
Pciin Charter Amusement Co., despite an offer of 
more rental offered by other theatrical interests. 

The suit was begum by minority stockholders, 
who asked that tho majority Interests be re- 
strained from leasing tlie theatre to Wm. W. 
Miller. In behalf of the Penn Charter Amusement 
Co., for an nnnunl rental of 1122,000, despite an 
nffiT of $30,000 a year made by Fred CI. Nlxnn-

that the minority rights most not be prejudiced 
In a mstter of thin kind. It la the duty of tho 
majority stockholder* of such a corporation not 
to show such favoritism.

room, same hotel. Act. III. — Five mlnut— 
later. Same as Act II. 

Time— The Present 

Two years ago a theatre was erected tn 
New York City and called the El tinge. It 
was intended to be the "home theatre" of 
Julian ElUnge. but the success of "Within 
tho Law" and "The Yellow Ticket" (the 
current attraction) has compelled him to play 
Ma metropolitan engagements at another 
playhouse. Last year ho played tho Liberty. 
On Monday right ho appeared at the Knick- 
erbocker In his new piece, "The Crinoline 
Girl." which found much favor with its first 
audience. 

The piece Is not a "girl" show, but a farce 
with several dramatic situations. It boa 
laughs In plenty and is sure to furnish one 
a pleasant evening at the theatre. It IB 
rather short, for it started at a quarter of 
nlno and ended at eleven o'clock. Hauerbach 
has furnished Mr. ElUnge with a vehicle 
that should servo him for a lopg tine in 
this city. 

The story Is as fellows. Richard AInBlcy, 
who is entertaining a party of friends at the 
Hotel de Beau Rivagc, at Lucerne, Switzer- 
land, hears that his prospective son-in-law, 
Tom Hale, had his name publicly connected 
with that of a Parisian dancer. Be Is so 
angry that he forbids his daughter PTothy 
to seo Tom again. 

Dorothy pleads for Tom, and Mr. Ainnle.y 
tells blm that if ho can earn 810,000, unaid- 
ed by his father Dorothy con continue to re- 
ceive his attentions. Tom accepts the con- 
dition. Through Charles Orlffltb, a re- 
porter stopping at tho hotel, Tom loams that 
a detective bos been assigned to n fashionable 
ball to be given at tho hotel. The detective 
hopes to capture a gang of thieves thonght to 
be responsible for a mysterious diamond rob- 
bery. Dorothy had nlso been tho victim of ' 
thieves, having lost a diamond necklace In 
Paris. 

A. reward of $3/100 has been offered for' 
the capture of tho thieves, and Tom decides 
to do some detective work and get the 
money. He learns that the police are watch- 
ing a character who appenred at tho ball la 
a crinoline gown. They suspect that the per- 
son is a man, but in reality It Is the sister 
of Lord Uromleigh, who IB in low with 
Dorothy. Tom, aided by tho reporter, cloro- 
forms this woman and carries her to a room. 
When Tom appears next on tho scene he Is 
dressed In tho crinoline gown worn by the 
woman, and the lord, thinking that Tom Is 
his sister passes him tho stolen Jewelry. Tom 
'exposes the lord and his sister, geta the re- 
ward and Dorothy. 

Mr. Eltlngo mukcH his first appearance In 
his street clothes, and the audience sees him 
as he really Is— a handsome, manly chap. 
with a manly walk. Ho save a splendid 
performance as Halo, proving conclusively 
flint he mill not depend on skirts to "set 
over." Of course, this role demands that he 
,WNtf gowns, and many a woman wishes that 
she could wear a gown with as much grace 
ns does Eltlngc. In this particular lino of 
xtngo work thin crtlst stands alone. Bis 
gowns, by the wav, were marvels of the 
modiste's art. During tho action of the play 
Mr. Kltlnge sings three songs, written es- 
pecially for him by Percy Wcnrk'b. They 
ore entitled "In My Dream of You" (Act 1). 
"When Martha Was a <llrl" (Act II) and 
"That Tempting Tango" (Act III). Tbo 
songs aro catchy and aro snro to achieve 
popularity. 

Herbert Corthell Ins a "fat" comedy role 
an Jerry Ainslcy, and was excellent In It, 
His danco In tho second act was a "riot" 

<"hniios P. Morrison scored a hit os Rich- 
ard Alnsley, who was a grouch to his im- 
inedlnto family and an old fool to women ; 
and Herbert MtoKenzic, as Lord Uromleigh, 
made his rolo stand out prominently, 

Tho women in the cast havo very little 
to do. Helen Luttrcll was a pretty Dorothy 
Alnsley, ploying the rolo with much charm, 
and Maldel Turner handled the rolo of Alice 
Hall with ease. She looked so much like 
Eltlngo that she was taken for the etar early 
in tho evening. 

Tho piece was handsomely produced by A. 
II. Woods, and tho stage managemenc of 
John Emerson was flawless. Kelcey.

Margaret Anglin'a production of "As You 
Like It," end ner portrayal of the TOle of 
Rosalind, will add little to her laurels as 
producer or actress. 

A lack of "team" work, due apparent- 
ly to Insufficient rehearsals, was markedly 
evident in the first night performance. Of 
tho company there is not much to say. 
Pedro De Corddba, In the character of Or- 
lando, played with sympathy and intelligence. 
Mr. De Cordoba's work was excellent In 
spots, bat at times he seemed to be lost In 
the character. A complete mastery of the 
lines would have helped a great deal. 

Fuller MeUIsh. as Jaqnes, read the "All 
tho World's a Stage" speech with ability, 
hut did not seem to fully grasp the full 
meaning of the part Harry Barfoot, as 
Adam, the aged servitor, gave a smooth and 
finished performance. 

Margaret AngUn's conception of the role 
of Rosalind was only fair. Her playing 
lacked that peculiar subtlety so necessary 
to an exceptional rendition of the fanciful 
heroine. 

Ulers was a rather heavy Rosalind. In 
fact to sum It up, Miss Anglin is mis-cast 
as the love-sick maiden. 

The enunciation of Ruth Holt Boucicault, 
as Cella, made understanding her linen a 
difficult matter. She played monotonously, 
but presented a pretty picture as Rosalind's 
cousin. 

The scenery, some of which seemed to 
have been painted with the Impressionistic 
idea In mind, was good in spots. 

Instead of tho usual stereotyped curtain 
speech Margaret Anglin acknowledged tho 
friendly applause by a recital of blank verse, 
which proved a welcome Innovation. Ilex.

Gertrude HoRmenn, with her own Mg com* 
pony, bends tho bill here this week. Miss 
Hoffmann made her metropolitan re-appear- 
ance at the matinee March 10, in a revuo 
new this season. In which boo has appeared 
In during on extensive tour of nearly the 
entire country. In its way it is quite tho 
biggest thing hi vaudeville to-day, and in- 
dependent of Miss Hoffmann's character 
dances, which are presented with spectacu- 
lar effect, there :s much to be Bald in pralso 
of the revue, with its brilliant colors in 
rich costuming, its pretty groupings of 
charming young women, and the skill dla- 

?laycd In thn perfect manner of Its presentn- 
Ion from first to lost There aro about 
thirty pcoplo engaged in tho revue, and 
seven scenes are shown during its occupancy 
of tho stage, consuming sixty minutes of 
time. Miss Hoffmann's imitations remain 
the best feoituro of the production. 

Joe Welch, with bis name very descrvedlv 
programmed In big type letters, r 'cajme back 
on Monday in fine shape in a comparatively 
new monologue of stories, rendered in bis 
original and intensely human manner, under 
the title or "A Study from Life." He was 
greeted by one of tbo biggest audiences in 
the history of this theatre, and he scored 
bis usual big hit. The writer was present at 
Mr. Welch's flint stage appearance In this 
city, and during all the Intervening years 
slnco then he bus not found it necessary to 
change his specialty in the slightest par- 
ticular. A fcure proof of sterling worth as 
en entertainer. 

The motion pictures of Mr. end Mrs. Ver- 
non Castle, in their graceful dancing num- 
bers, were shown for tho first tlmo here on 
Monday, and were greatly enjoyed by tho big 
audience. 

Emily Darrell and Chas. Conway wcro one 
of tho bright features of the bill In their 
skit, "Behind the Scenes," and their con- 
scientious efforts to please mot with respon- 
sive laughter and waves of applause. 

George White and Isabelle Jason opened 
with a song and danco number, and closed 
strongly la modern dances. 

Hats off to Lou Stepp, Ed. Goodrich and 
John King who were the applause winners 
of the entlro bill in their instrumental and 
vocal musical act. It is a question if there 
is a better musical act in present-day vaude- 
ville. 

Bob Kuapp and Chris. Cornalla, in tho 
number two position of the bill, made a 
fairly good Impression in dialogue and acro- 
batic dancing. (See New Acts, this Isbub.) 

Montague's Cockatoos, one of the finest 
exhibitions of bird training now before the 
public, opened the show, and their wonder- 
ful work was ns surprising as it was delight- 
ful. It Is impossible to Imagine how theso 
birds could bo trained to the state of per- 
fection they show hi tbetr stage perform- 
ances. Old Timer.

Irving; Place (Rudolf Christians, mgr.) 
— Induced by the enormous success scored 
by the military play of tho season. "Kasern- 
cnluft," a revival of "Znpfenstroich" ("Tat- 
too"), military play, la four acts, by Krana 
Adam Reycrlcln. the author of the sensa- 
tional novel, "From a Kittle Garrison," was 
arranged with Uerr Christians as Lieuten- 
ant von Lauffen, and Hansl Arnstaedt, the 
guest of the season, in tho splendid part of 
Claire Volkhard, both of them, of course, 
reaping no end of applause. While both of 
them are hardly young enough to portray the 
young lieutenant ana tho whip of a girl 
enamored of him, their wonderful acting 
carried the audience away and made them 
forget this inconsistency. Tho rest of the 
cast was: Colonel von Bannowiti, Ernst 
Robert; Lieutenant von Hoewen, Otto 
Stocekel ; Volkhard. non-commissioned officer, 
Ernst Holsnngel ; Quotas, non-commissioned 
officer, Rudl Raho; Sergeant Helblg, Will/

torlus and Paul Diets. Herr Holsnagcl wns

hard, ns was Herr Wahl, as young Helblg. 
Uerr Marlow was visibly pleased to have an 
opportunity to don the uniform he used to 
wear before becoming a member of the stage, 
and did much to Brighten up the court 
martial scene. His stage management was 
all that could be wished for. The smaller 
parts were well taken care of. BeroNno.

LOEWS SEVENTH AVENUE. 

("JAM" LUBIK, HOB.) 

On Monday evening, March 0, this theatre 
was "filled up," and Jake Lobln baa a "dp- 
ping" show on hand, 

Owen Wright opened theebill with Imita- 
tions of musical instruments, animals and 
other sounds, very naturally of each, and) 
was well liked, 

Mile. Amoros and Ben Mulvey, in "A Night 
in Paris," offered singing, dancing and talk- 
ing. Mile. AmoroB is a good acrobatic 
dancer. She should stick strictly to the 
dancing. Their talk is good and the little 
recitation about Broadway goes across big. 

O'Brien, Dennett and O'Brien, two men, 
one woman (and a piano), in a somewhat 
different cabaret turn, got by nicely. Their 
numbers included: "Dancing Around," "Re- 
becca of iSunnybrook Farm/' "Get Out and 
Get Under," "It's Good" and "At That 
Woolly Wild West Show." 
„ J. C, Lewis Jr. and company, in "Billy's 
Santa Claus" (see New Acts). 

Brady and Maboncy were the laugh manu- 
facturers of the bill, and they suro cashe'J 
all that was due them. Still doing the fire- 
man and the "cheese" (pardon, chief). 

Lawrence Crano and company in magic, 
old and now, showed earns surprising stunts, 
and Mr. Crane's line of chatter got over 
strong. 

'Klaw & Brlangcr's picture, "Classmates," 
was the feature picture of the evening. We 
saw it all. Pete. 

Bill March 12-16. 

Found Manager Jake, and Joe Vogel on 
opposlde Bides of the entrance here Friday 
evening 13, and the y didn't wish us any hard 
lnck, for you eee Manager Jako and assistant 
Joe were ou either aide of that entrance 
giving the big howdy' to all those patrons of 
Mr. Locw's one Hundred and Twenty-fourth 
Street and Seventh Avenue Theatre. 

•Don't know whether Friday, the thir- 
teenth, or myself brought the "tut tut" luck to 
J. Herbert Frank's "The Atonement" sketch, 
but anyway when J. Herbert stuck the dagger 
Into bis bared breast for the third and last 
time Friday, the orchestra drummer inusqjhavo 
got tho act balled up with another, for just 
as eaid dagger found J. Herbert's said bared 
cheat, said drummer slapped the big drum a 
thump— and. tho result was a laugh— and 
business of act being "crabbed." We be- 
lieve "The. Atonement is one of the most 
enjoyable dramatic sketches on the Loow or 
any other circuit "at the present writing," 
and Mr. Frank's portrayal of the eon of a 
retired judge who allowed an innocent man 
to do two years in the pen for his own 
crime, and hie work as the "condemned 
man," who seeks bis proseoutor'e life upon 
escaping, and then takes his own life in order 
to allow the son to go free, are flawless. True 
8. James, in tbe judge role, Is equal to every- 
thing that is in proper harmony, and "The 
Atonement" will continue to be a Loew cir- 
cuit feature act; minus the unintentional 
crabbing" at this particular evening's pres- 
entation. 

The Purcella Bros., on No. 1. whose forte 
Is dancing, sang "Dancing Around'* and 
"Camp Meeting Band," in blue suits, mono- 
cles, green Kellys, etc, and then closed their 
torn with a corking "convict" dance, with 
their feet shackled together and in silk (con- 
vict striped) full dress uniforms. It's one 
of the latest novelties, and the Purcella boys 
do it all most cleverly. 

The Three Harlshrma Brothers (who look 
much like the Mori Brothers), billed as 
"Japan's greatest acrobats end foot jug- 
glers," can have that claim with pleasure 
unless three superior Risley workers ran be 
dng up. The trio are born performers, and 
esldo from their individual ability to Juggle 
one another, two of the olive eklnncd boyn 
do heaps of clever work "footing" a barrel 
from one to the other, and their clean com- 
edy during It just put the folks in a won- 
derful humor for every act that followed 
them on the bill. 

A sweet tenor-voiced lad sang the George 
Meyer Company's "Across tho Great Divide," 
and then "Shorty" Do Witt and his winsome 
partner, Miss Stewart, came on for ten min- 
utes of loughs. De Witt is as queer n little 
runt as he ever was, and his manipulation 
of those short Hrnbs convinces be can dance. 
Ills partner is a sweet looking girl, manages 
to get a song or two over well enough ami 
kick snlflclently to make "Sborty" appear 
more ridiculous. A fanny turn, but some 
good conversation by both ana one neat 
ankle dress for it by the girl would make it 
all the better. 

Carlotta 'St, Elmo followed LuMn's "A 
Winning Mistake/' comedy suffragette pic- 
ture. Miss St Ehno's opening, singing a 
enutcb of opera off stage, proves She pos- 
sesses a fine soprano voice. She sang five 
numbers in all, and dragged "I Miss You 
Most of All" towards tiresome as a finale, be- 
cause Carlotta dotes on lingering on every 
high note she touches. Her dressing is neat, 
although she has more of a Spanish armeur- 
rance for her "wop" number, using "Shores 
of Italy." Plenty of good voice, but re- 
arrangement is necessary to make her "a 
smooth single." 

It was up to Fiddler and Shelton (the 
colored singing comedians) to cop the "big 
hand" of the blU, They are easimj through 
•tongs, alono and together, after their opeu- 
Ing, with Fiddler in the Chinaman garb, but 
they usually get 'em — and bold 'em from 
start to finish. They duplicated at this show 
as big as we've caught them in the past. 

"dothea" wns the feature picture. A good 
show, bell to bell. Toi.

PROCTOR'S FIFTH AVENUE. 

(OUS UCCUNB, MOO.) 

A well balanced b>l is offered this, the last 
Week of vaudevlMe here. 

Lawton, a very clover Juggler, opened the 
performance and went well. (Ho does a good 
act. 

Chester Spencer and Lola WlHlams' fol- 
lowed in a neat singing, tailing aad dancing 
act. Miss Williams Is a pretty little crea- 
ture and wears her gowns well. Spencer is 
a clever boy. has a good voice, and tfie "know 
Ikot" idea to put his songs over. 

Frances Nordstrom andr company offered a 
good dramatic sketch, "A Domestic Inci- 
dent" Telling a story of a boy sowins his 
wild oats, In a small city, his Iib'rae, having 
gotten with a fast bunch, gone In debt to a 
stranger, signed notes, Mad to make them. 
good so was going to steal money, ills 
father had brought home money for the pay 
roll which he was going to pay off with the 
following day. His sister discovered her 
brother in tho act of stealing the money 
and persuaded him not to do It The sketch 
was well . acted by Miss Nordstrom, who 
played the sister; John Power, the father, 
and Wm. Plnkham. tho son. i« n er, 

John and Mae Burke went big in their 
eklt, "A Ragtime Soldier." Burke is a 
funny fellow and can play the piano, while 
his shapely wife Is there with her pipes. 

Wallace Galvin did some good tricks with 
the cards. 

"The Telephone Tangle" of seven people 
was novel and very amusing. It's an act 
Ehowlng the mtx-up that could occur and 
very often does on the telephone, when tho 
lines are crossed, You start talking to 
someone and end up. talking to somebody 
else. The black faced fellow was particu- 
larly good. 

Anna Chandler was the clean-up kid) for 
she most certainly went big Monday. She 
sang four numbers and sang them well. She 
has the ability of putting her numbers over 
artistically. Her wardrobe is pretty. 

The Four Harreys closed the bill, why 
four, I counted five, as the pretty and shapely 
young lady in pink most certainly adds class 
to this already One act The JIarveys do a 
great wire act. doing tricks that all other 
acts of Its kdrM do, then they do more. Two 
of the girls dance tie turkey trot and tango, 
with as much ease and grace, on the wire, 
as though they were on a ballroom floor. It 
is a fine act Bid.

bo presented in "The Redemption of David 
Corson," by Charles Gobs; published by the

TAN— CASINO TO SHOW "CHRIS- 
TIAN" ON SUNDAYS. 
Immediately following the final perform- 
ance of "The Lure," Saturday night, at the 
Manhattan Opera House, New York City, 
several skilled mechanicians of the Nicholas 
Tower Co. desccaded oa the erstwhile home 
of grand opera, drama, musical comedy, 
etc., and began the process of installing two 
new 0-A Camoragraphs. "The Christian," 
produced In film form by the Vltagraph 
Company, commenced an indefinite engage- 
ment Monday at the Manhattan, The pic- 
tures will only be shown six days a week, 
from Monday to Saturday, owing to an 
agreement which was made some years track, 
which states the Manhattan must be held In 
readiness for operatic concerts on Sundays. 
In order to counteract the effect of this 
clause, the Casino, famous old Broadway 
home of musical comedy, has also been fitted 
up with two Power's machines, and "The 
Christian" will bo shown there on Sunday 
afternoons and evenlngB. 

DECISION RESERVED IN M. P. 
PATENTS CO.'-LAEMMLE SUIT. 

The long drawn out suit of the Motion 
Picture Patents Co. versus Carl Lacmmle, 
the Independent Moving Picture Co. of 
America, end the Imp Film Co. over patent 
rights which Thomas A. Edison claimed he 
was the sole owner of, came to a close last 
Thursday In the V. 8. District Court. Judge 
Mayer reserved decision in the matter, which 
Involves millions. 

The questions at Issue concern not only 
motion picture projectors, but cameras as 
well. 

Waldo Q. Morse, counsel for the defend- 
ants, contended that Henschcl, one of the 
pioneer clnematogrnphlc inventors, had per- 
fected the motion picture machine to a work- 
able degree about the samo time that Mr. 
Edison had announced the success of his ex- 
periments in that line, 

J. It. Taylor, of the low firm of Taylor & 
Dyer, counsel for the plaintiff, sought to 
prove the soundness of Edison's claims. 

The proceedings were enlivened by the 
manipulation of cameras and machines by 
experts from both camps. 

The decision when announced will surely 
have & far reaching effect on the entire in- 
dustry. 

THE CODBS PULL A COUPLE OF OTUG. 
INAL ADVERTISING STUNTS. 

You can always expect something novel in 
the advertising lino from C. Long Cobb, sales 
representative of Romo Features, likewise 
from his better half, Agnes Kgan Cobb, who 
holds forth in a like capacity for Union and 
Features Ideal. It Isn't often, though, that 
(hey pull original stunts simultaneously, as 
In the case of C Laug's "phony" theatre 
ticket surprise, which contained the merit of 



DADY LILLIAN WADE. 

VT. N. Sellg, of the Sell* Polyscope Co., 
recently received the following unique letter 
from the great child actress. "Baby" Lillian 
Wade, who la sojourning through Truckee, 
Cal., where the Sellg Btock Company Is 
making snow/ pictures In the high SierrnB, 
under the direction of Colin Campbell: 

"Deae Mb. Belio : Would you bo surprised 
to bear from 'Baby' Lillian away up in 
the high mountains all covered with snow — 
enow I everywhere I and so high you cannot 
see over It? I never saw snow before, and 
1 could not sleep the first night I catno be- 
cause I bad to get up and look out of our 
window every time I heard the sleigh bells, 
aad to see the great stacks of snow with 
the electric lights shining upon them. Then, 
too. It was snowing hard, and I asked my 
grandma If the stars were coming down. I 
thought they were at first— it was all so 
lovely. <But the next day, when we rode 
two or three miles to oar work, it wns still 
snowing and Wowing and raining, but they 
covered: me up so I could not see or get 
cold In any way, and 1 only peeped out 
'once' when one of our horses disappeared 
In a bit snowdrift and tbey all hollered. 
Chen I knew what 'stacks' of snow mcaut, 
I went in oae, head first. 'Mr. Clark threw 
me In when I was working in my part. Had 
be told me I should have sold 'No, indeed.' 
Bu« he did not ask me, and I only knew I 
was In when I felt my face and hands all 
covered with snow. I thought at first I 
would cry, hut then I did not. It was only 
fun after all. I had on a big fur coat and 
hood Aunty Hayward made me out of skini 
all sewed together, It looked fine r.ntl wai 
very nice and warm, and the wolf doga 
thought I belonged to them when they saw 
me ready to ride on their sled. Tbey all 
behaved beautifully except Snowball. He 
would not mind or work, but played all the 
time, but Gunboat and Blacky nod Brownoy 
were tbo best dogs— they minded. You will 
see how we looked when you see our beauti- 
ful snow picture. 

"I hope my letter will not tire you, but 
I wanted to tell you how much wo wave en- 
Joyed the snow and our trip to Truckee. 
Give my love to Mrs. Belts and accept the 
eame from 'Bam' Lillian.'" 
GREAT THINGS EXPECTED OF NEW 

D'ANNVNZIO-ITALA FEATURE- 
SAID TO RIVAL FILM 
MASTERPIECES. 

Gabriel D'Annunalo, the Italian fin tfc alerts 
(dramatist, has written a scenario on A 
classical theme for the Itala Film Company. 
«f Turin, Italy, and over there an army of 
actors, actresses, operatives and others baa 
been plugging along for months making the 
mammoth film spectacle Nobody knows the 
<ltle, nobody knows anything about It except 
the Itala Company, which wisely took the 
precaution of swearing everybody concerned 
to secrecy about the matter. If anybody 
broke his or her oath they wero to bo flung 
Into a dungeon. <So they didn't squeal. 

Anyhow, tho great mystery is to bo un- 
veiled In New York City within a fow weeks 
at one of the principal theatres. There will 
be sixty-live (Oft) muslclaus and forty-five 
(45) In the chorus to play and sing the 
picture. 

The public is entitled to cipect nnJ prob- 
ably will recolvo an ottering entirely worthy 
of tl.e makers of such fino films as "Tho Fall 
Of Troy," "TigrlB," etc. 

FAMOUS PLAYERS' WEEK AT LOEW'S 
BROADWAY, NEW YOItK. RE- 
MARKABLE INNOVATION. 

For the first time In the history et local 
theatricals, nnd probably marking a distinct 
evolution in tho theatrical world ns Influ- 
enced by tho motion picture, Marcm Loow 
devoted his Broadway Theatre, In New York 
City, the whole of last week to the presenta- 
tion exclusively of the productions of the 
Famous Players Film Co. .... 

This event Is absolutely unprecedented In 
vaudeville activities, and Indicates lu tho 
most Btrlklng manner possible the gradua- 
tion of the motion picture from tho cheap 
amusement of a few years ago to a dignified, 
pretentious entertainment equal in .drawing 
power to a high class vaudeville bill. But 
It 1a not only an Innovation In tho onorntlon 
of vaudeville theatres, but also In the con- 
ducting of motion picture thentres, as at no 
time heretofore has any motion picture the- 
atre devoted an entire week to the exhibition 
exclusively of the productions of any one 

Sroducer. The event proves conclusively that 
is Famous Players program has sufficient 



distinct originality, and Agnes Bgnn's "horso 
»ind wagon n loaded down with r, Unlon Fea- 
tures." which was gotten out to Inform a pal- 
pitating film public that tho goods and 
chattels of the Eclair Co. bad ben removed 
to the new ofllccs situated in (he Leavltt 
Building, at ISO West Forty-sixth Street, 
New York. Tho "horse and wagon" "cut 
out" Is an excellent reminder. 
SIMPLEX ITIES. 

A Simplex Procctor has been Installed in 
tho U. 8. Depsrment of Agriculture, Division 
of Publication, 215 Thirteenth Street, Wash- 
ington, D. C, through Mr. Williams, Educa- 
tional Dept. Universal Film Mfg. Co. 

One of the most talked and written about 
theatres in tho country is the Regent Thea- 
tre, One Hundred and Sixteenth Street and 
Seventh Avenue, New York. Columns hnvo 
been given to it by -the trado papers, and Its 
wonderful projection, which is furnished by 
two Simplex Projectors. 

George 8. Rothwcll, sales representative 
for tho Rlmplex Machine people, is back in 
New York after his maiden trip through tho 
Middle West For a beginner George has 
done mighty well, nnd be bids fair to be a 
good Simplex booster. 



J. E. Robin, sales manager for the Sim- 
plex people, wns at the Columbia Theatre 
last week. In addition to what he saw on 
the stage worth while, Robin found a pocket- 
book. The man who claimed It was a 
••husky." so Robin returned It 

William J. Robinson of Vanoscope fame 
soys that "Simplex" Is made on honor. 

The Simplex machine was a very handy 
adjunct at the dinner given recently by the 
Pleiades Club, at the Hotel Astor. After 
the speeches several new Vltagraphs were 
run off, to the keen appreciation of the 
clubmen. 

On Sunday, March 8, Commodore J. Stuart 
Blackton, of the Vltagraph Co , with a select 
cumber of his players, entertained royally 
et the Pleiades Club at the Hotel Brevoort, 
New York City. The evening was thorough- 
ly enjoyed by a large and enthusiastic audi- 
ence. 

Mr. Blackton, in responding to the intro- 
duction speech of President 'I. Murray Hal. 
bcrt, told a good story on himself. 

At the opening of the Vltagraph Theatre 
Mr. Blackton made a curtain speech. An 
Englishman, seated In a box, remarked to a 
friend: "Who is this man? I don't think 
much of him." "Why," said his friend, 
"don't you know who that Is? That's J. 
Stuart Blackton, the greatest after dinner 
speaker In America." "My word," said the 
Englishman, "I guess be caBu't had his 
dlonar." 

CHICAGO CORPORATION COUNSEL- 
MOVES TO DISMISS MUTUAL'S 
CENSORSHIP SUIT. 

Asslsant Corporation Coumels Geo. L. 
Reker and Max Korshak. of Chicago, moved, 
March 12, to dismiss the three suits insti- 
tuted by the Mutual Film Corporation to 
enjoin the Chicago Censorship Board from 
censoring their film productions. The mo- 
tion to dismiss came up before Federal Judge 
Geo. A. Carpenter, wh» transferred the case 
to Judge Julian A. Wack, owing to a full 
caleadar. Lee & Toner, counsel for the Mu- 
tual Film Corporation. H. & H. Film Ser- 
vice and the World's Special Feature Film 
Co., -who sued out the injunction, succeeded 
In having the bearing put over a week or 
two, leaving matters, as far as censorship 
is concerned, as they say tn classic "Chi,"' 
in statue 4110. 

ROY AITKEN SAILS. 

-Roy Altken, vice president of tho Western 
Import Co., which handles the foreign busi- 
ness of the Mutual Film Corporation, of 
which his brother Harry B. Altken, is predi- 
dent, sailed on the Lusitanin for London, 
where he will endeavor to book as many as 
possible of the leading "legitimate" theatres 
of the English metropolis for the presenta- 
tion of the Mutual's big feature films. Just 
as the Continental Feature Film Company is 
now doing in New York. Already the Con- 
tinental has "The Gangsters of New York," 
a Keystone comedy, and "With Colonel 
Roosevelt in South America," three Mutual 
features at Weber's Theatre and the West 
End, In Harlem, and "The Great Leap," at 
tbo New York. 

SaiG SNAP-SHOTS. 

Habold Vosbcbgh, of the Sellg Stock Co., 
in Chicago, who had a varied career as a 
newspaper reporter and an actor before he 
entered the arena of moving pictures, has 
studied the subject close and at long dis- 
tance, so that he bas an intimate knowledge 
of the technique of motograpby, both before 
end beblnd the camera. He remarked re- 
cently: "Moving pictures and Its actors are 
to-day being discussed as a most popular 
topic every place. In homes where prints 
and lithographs of high color used to have 
place, now tbey have photographs of the 
heroes and heroines of the picture plays, 
Just as tbey used to have In the good old 
days of melodrama, when the people of the 

Rlayhouse had a silent place in the home, 
ot long ago I attended a banquet and was 
called upon to make a few remarks concern- 
ing the taking of pictures. Understanding 
the popular interest in the players, I 
switched from the toastmaster's topic to the 
subject of the actor, and endeavored to con- 
vince my auditors that the moving picture 
proper offered one of the greatest advan- 
tages to the actor to become a true artist. 
Why? Because to-day he must study how 
to be able to ossoclate words with panto- 
mime In order to get the thought over con- 
vincingly to bis public. The great artists 
from abroad visit our shores and we pay a 
premium to see them, and although ther 
may speak a foreign tongue, they have been 
so well schooled in the dual arts of the stage 
that we, although not familiar with their 
language, caa understand the emotions and 
sentiment they portray. If we patronize this 
foreign work, which costs so much and, I 
dislike to remark it, Is frequently unwhole- 
some, why should not every American con- 
sider it a duty to attend and support the 
moving picture when yon are unconsciously 
helplnir develop the best In the American 
actor?" 

Johnnie Lanqmack, the peripatetic prop- 
erty man of the Sellg Polyscope Co., accom- 
{tanled by Sport Pusumla, met several cars 
ast week that had been equipped with heating 
apparatus, In view of carrying a choice lias 
of passengers destined to be entertained In 
Chicago for a few weeks while en route to 
the Sellg Zoo at Los Angeles, Cal. Among 
those listed In this consignment were two 
great sea-cows, four sacred cows— a r-jnark- 
able animal — a sacred calf, a very large 
biack-maned lion and two famous Norman 
stallions. They were all taken to the animal 
quarters at the Sellg plant on the Northwest 
Side, and were greeted by Mary Garden, the 
African elephant, Who vociferously trum- 
peted her Joy over the new arrival. The 
royal Bengal tiger performed a number of 
daring evolutions In his cage et the sight of 
the sacred calf, and two iSlberiau boar- 
hounds added a deep note to the serenade. 
Some other rare animals are now sailing 
across the Indian Ocean to add further dis- 
tinction to the Sellg collection, said to be 
the largest private collection of wild animals 
In the world.

KLHRE POSITIVES. 

One of the most remarkable advertising 
campaigns fathered by an exhibitor was tbat 
of the Jefferson Theatre of St. Augustine, 
Fla., in advertising George Klelne's "Quo 
Vadls?" On Feb. 23 and 24. two lions were 
rented from a stranded circus. .They were 
hauled about town In tbe circus cage, mount- 
ed on a wngon gaily decorated with "Quo 
Vndls?'' streamers, much to the edification 
of the crowd and the patronage of the 
Jefferson Theatre those evenings. 

Bx special order of the mayor ana coun- 
cil all work In tbe city of Venice, Italy, 
was suspended for several hours recently 
for the manufacture of a big multiple sub- 
ject which Klelae Is soon to release in Amer- 
ica. The American little realizes bow much 
Interest was provoked in the Venetian me- 
tropolis In order to obtain euch dispensa- 
tion. Inasmuch as tbe city is traversed by 
waterways which makes the elimination of 
tho many gondolas a much, harder task than 
the clearing away of bystanders In one ot 
our cities. The historical "Byssones" were 
taken from their sacred nooks and floated In 
tbe canals by special order of tbe city coun- 
cil, In the manufacture of this big historic 
multiple reeler. 

Lxda Boiiellt, one of the most famous 
actresses on the European stsge, has been 
engaged by the Clues Company to play leads 
In a series of big productions to be called 
"the theatrical series." These productions 
will be taken from famous plays familiar to 
theatre-goers the world over. 

George JJleine's "For Napoleon and 
Prance" is scheduled for an enthusiastic re- 
ception by tbe American public if one caa 
Judge from the tremendous number of book- 
ngs made by the various Klelne hooking 
offices throughout the United' States. It is 
predicted by experienced exhibitors that the 
magnetic qualities of the name "Napoleon,^ 
which stirred a million souls a century ago, 
will not fall its attraction powers when 
placed over tho top of a modern picture the- 
atre. Practically all States in the Union 
are demanding bookings for Klelne's big six

This departure from tbe usual routine at

■whole of tbe Western company, tor variety

players who have hitherto been Identified

Mr. Anderson has any present intention at 
discontinuing his portrayal of that fascinat- 
ing hero. The fact that within the past two

of that.

financial resources of several of tbe most 
conservative and successful feature concerns 
of Europe and this country, the combination 
gives promise of developing Into a formid- 
able rival and competitor of the small group 
ot big companies releasing multiple subjects 
In America. 

The first inkling of what was la the wind 
came last Tuesday night, March 10, when 
a number of the larger feature buyers were 
invited to a private exhibition given in the 
projection rooms of tbe Apex Film Company. 
After being shown some truly remarkable 
pictures— among them, "The Blue Mouse," 
with Madge Lesslng in the stellar role, and 
the great melodramatic spectacle, "Healed 
Orders," which is said to rank wrfch "Tbe 
Whip" in sensationalism and scenic surprises 
— the feature men were Informed that the 
demonstration was merely a sample of a 
new monthly service about to be Inaugurated. 

That tbe announcement gave some of them 
a shock goes without saying, particularly 
those In territory where "the other fellow" 
has contracted all tbe service of that char- 
acter available, the fast spreading news 
may also give tie "other fellow" quite as 
great a Jolt. ■ - 

According to such details as have leaked 
out, exclusive service will be furnished fea- 
ture buyers of proven reliability, under an 
annual contract, with a guarantee that one 
big feature of striking box office fllllngohar- 
acter will be furnished each month. Pictor- 
ial printing, small printing and a general 
publicity campaign have been provided for on 
unique lines that to all intents and purposes 
are co-operative. 

The service will not represent the output 
of any one producing concern, but the best . 
that can be acquired: throughout the world, 
although several large European producing 
houses are understood to be interested. Op- 
tions from a number of others are In the 
bands of the projectors of the combine, giv- 
ing them the first call on all features exceed- 
ing 4,000 feet made during the next five 
years. The declaration of the combination 
that it has seven months supply ready to 
ship to-morrow would seem to place It In an 
extremely Independent position. 

Tbe only names that have been disclosed 
as yet are those of Mr. Wtnik, who is widely 
known as one of the most successful feature 
dealers and exhibitors of England and Ger- 
many, and who also controls a circuit of 
theatres In the former country; P. P. Craft, 
who was one of the pioneer feature men ot 
America, and who is at tbe head of the 
Apex Film Company, and Joseph Simmon?, 
a London feature film and exchange man. 
It Is understood that the veil ot secrecy baa 
been Intentionally drawn about the per- 
sonnel because of the possible effect upon 
more general motion picture business in 
which tbey are interested. 

Executive headquarters have already been 
arranged tor In London, and temporary 
American headquarters In New York. Of- 
ficial announcement of the formation and 
purpose of the company has been withheld, 
pending the securing of a Broadway thea- 
tre hi which to demonstrate the service upon 
the screen. While the official title has not 
been made public it is understood that tho 
comiblne will probably be known as the Dra- 
matic Successes Feature Film Company.

Dbab Sib: In the picture entitled "The 
Billionaire," a certain part has been elimi- 
nated by Messrs. Klaw ft Erlangcr and the 
Progressive Amusement Co., and for this ac- 
tion they deserve commendation. At tho 
present time a wave of Bichloride of Mer- 
cury suicides is sweeping tho country, ana 
In order to curb the sale of this deadly drug 
I have had a bill introduced In the New York 
State Legislature, and also In New Jersey. 
In the 'motion picture referred to, the fol- 
lowing words are flashed on the screen just 
proceeding a scene of attempted suicide: *I 
will take this bichloride tablet and end It 
alL" I have found In my investigations that 
when the name of a poison is mentioned 
in connection with a case of suicide It im- 
presses susceptible minds, and often works 
great harm. In addition to this, the phrase 
used In the picture gives one the Impression 
of a quick easy death, which is not the case 
In bichloride poisoning. I therefore wrote 
to Klaw ft Erlanger suggesting that tbey leayo 
out the bichloride phrase, and was very grati- 
fied when they answered promptly stating 
that they would adopt my suggestion and 
eliminate the phrase, at once. This certain- 
ly shows the right spirit on the part of the 
producers, and contrary to the opinion now 
prevailing among a certain class of re- 
formers, It proves that they aro willing to 
keep their films free from all matter which 
might prove injurious to the public welfare.

—MILLIONS INVOLVED. 

. Once more the Eastman. Kodak Co. has 
been adjudged as having Infringed on the 
patents of the Ansco Film Co., which con- 
trols the patent rights of the Goodwin Film 
and Camera Co. The salt has been dragging 
along for twelve years, and Involves tho 
question of the practical Invention of the 
film of which millions of feet Is consumed 
weekly by motion picture concerns. 

A minister, Rev. Hannibal Goodwin, by 
name, invented a sensitized celluloid film in 
1887. He made application for a patent In 
that year, but did not receive the same until 
1898. Hannibal Goodwin died in 11)00. 

His wife, Mrs. Rebecca Goodwin, however, 
who is now eight-six years of age. living at 
present in Newark, N, J., continued the fight 
for years. Judge Hazel, In Buffalo, banded 
down a decision favorable to Mrs. Goodwin 
last June, which was confirmed last week by 
the TJ. 8. Circuit Court - 

The Eastman Kodak Co. have declared 
their intention of carrying tbe case to tho 
U. S. Supreme Court immediately.

STRAND THEATRE OPENS MIDDLE

The Strand Theatre, which has been In

In the suit brought by Jacques Chevalier 
•gainst the Blograph Company arid the Gen- 
eral Film Company, for $70,000 damages, 
and to enjoin the exhibitions of a picture 
which showed the place of business of the 

Slalntlff. and the name "Maison Chevalier, 
odge Page of the Supreme Court, to-day 
denied the application for an injunction. 

The Blograph Co. and General Film Co., 
who were represented by David flerber, con- 
tended that they had a perfect right to 
photograph tbe exterior of tbe building, 
which contained a sign bearing the name of 
the proprietor of the business conducted at 
that place, and further, that the words "Mai- 
son chevalier," were not the name of the 
proprietor, but the name of the place, and 
the law old not prevent photographing the 
name of a place as distinct from, the name 
of a proprietor. 

It was also claimed that as the words 
"Maison Chevalier" appeared upon a newel 
post, advertising the place of business of 
the plaintiff, which was six feet two and 
one-half Inches beyond the building line, the 
post itself being a violation of the law, no 
Injunction would issue on the application or 
a person who was himself guilty of a vio- 
lation of the law.

Fsatdrino "Villa" In a photodrama looks 
like "villain," but it isn't. Look again I 
General Villa Is to become a moving picture 
actor in the interests of his cause. Harry 
B. Altken, president of the Mutual Film 
Corporation, who contracted with the Con- 
stitutionalist leader for tbe exclusive movie 
privilege with the rebel army in tbe Mexican 
War, has Just returned from Juarez, where 
he went to sign another contract with the 
bold warrior. It was to produce a great 
serial moving picture of many reels on "The 
life of General Francisco Villa," and he suc- 
ceeded In his mission. Tbe general will him- 
self play the title role and bas already posed 
for tbe preliminary pictures portraying blm 
as an agriculturist on his own farm In Mex- 
ico. "I found General Villa," said Mr. Alt- 
ken, in the executive offices of the Mutual, 
at 71 West Twenty-third Street, yesterday, 
"a very different man from the uncouth 
bandit painted by the newspapers. lie Is a 
serious, dignified man, who conducts the 
affairs of his army In a systematic and 
orderly manner, which would do credit to a 
much older and more experienced military 
man." 

BLIZZARD HELPS BLACHE. 

While New Yorkers were bemoaning the 
sudden decision of March to make its en- 
trance as a roaring lion, Herbert Blache was 
digging up a pet scenario which he had laid 
away with a temperamental sigh, thinking 
that It would have to wait until the snows 
of another Winter before It could be pro- 
duced. 

Being a strong dramatic story of a Si- 
berian exile, tbe more snow that fell the 
better the atmosphere and tbe more beautiful 
tbe backgrounds, ro when the Heavens saw 
fit to tie up tbe roalroads and make New 
York spend a few million dollars to keep Its 
natives from being snowbound, Producer 
Blache wore a happy smile, and proceeded to 
stage scenes which, for snow and Ice effect, 
would make the North Pole look like Mexico 
on a hot day. 

The result promises to be a four part fea- 
ture of more than ordinary interest, as tbe 
scenario is said to bo founded upon the true 
history of a man exiled to Siberia, who told 
the story upon his death-bed to a companion 
who communicated It to a relative in the 
outside world by a letter smuggled across 
the border. 

Almost unbelievable experiences are con- 
tained in tho action of the story, which dc- 
vulgcs a plot so unique and so full of unusual 
incidents that it Is easy to believe that the 
Russian Government would do all in its 
power to keep such facts from reaching the 
general public. 

A. 'D. Fmmtom. of tbe Kansas City Fea- 
ture Film Company, of Kansas City, Mo., 
has acquired the rights on tbe following sub- 
jects of the Film Releases of America : "The 
Missing Woman," "The Firefly," "A Life for

and. "Gallows of the Gods." 

Tub foreign exhibition rights on tbe Sterl- 
ing Camera A Film Company's four-reel pro- 
duction, "Over Niagara I'allB," have been dis- 
posed of through the London office of Mlilgar

features nnv* been sent to the London cilice 
of the M-idgar Company for the disposal of

dred Years of Monmonlsin" and "From Dusk

BUNNY INSURES HIS FACE. 

Theatrical and newspaper circles were 
highly amused over the announcement that 
John Bunny, the Vltagraph. motion picture 
star, had had bis face Insured for (50,000 
against beauty. Why not? Caruso has his 
voice insured. Paderewskl has hlB fingers In- 
sured, Genee has her toes Insured, and It 
cannot be denied that each of these three 
have Insured their meal ticket. Why shouldn't 
Bunny Insure bis face? It certainly Is hit 
fortune, in spite of its lack uf beauty. Bunny 
never posed aB a llomeo and his funny face 
certainly is bis fortune, therefore he Is jus- 
tified In Insuring himself against becoming 
handsome like Maurice Costello. Of ill the 
unkind remarks which have been passed 
about Bunny insuring bis face against be- 
coming beautiful, the worst was said by a 
New 5ork newspaper man, who stoutly In- 
sisted that you couldn't do anything which 
would injure Bunny's face, while a kind- 
hearted young lady, an ardent Vltagraph pic- 
ture fan, mildly remarked that any Injury 
whatever would be an Improvement. Funny 
face, unkind remarks and all. Bunny should 
worry. It Is getting blm a thousand dollars 
a week. 

A Mutual Weekly man was decidedly for- 
tunate In catching one of tbe big accidents I 
nt tbe Santa Monica automobile race In Cali- 
fornia recently. One of the machines In 
turning a bend, met with an accident and 
turned several complete somersaults directly 
in front of the Mutual Weekly operator's 
camera. At the last moment he was com- 
pelled to grab his camera and jump for safe- 
ly. This picture forms oho of tho most ex- 
citing views on Mutual Weekly, No. 04. 

Thb Mutual Wbbkly has lately covered 
the Mardl Gras at New Orleans and the Gos- 
uertlla Carnival at Tampa, Fla. Tbe Cor- 
liss Over-Seas aeroplane boat also recently 
went through Its evolutions in front of a 
Mutual Weekly camera, and this, too, is to

It Is a mighty well "made up" actor, and

una of their juvenile leading men. After 
his "Rags to filches" engagement (Jane who 
with Orloff, tbe Russian actor, and later la 
the original cast of "The Great Divide." His 
first Thanhouscr Is "Cardinal Richelieu's 
Ward," wherein he plays Francois, a part 
that will keep blm acting all the time. 

Wilkib Collins' weird novel, recently 
dramatised by Mmc. Alice Hindu-, has so in- 
terested Claire Whitney, the flotax leading 
Indy, Id problems of psychology, auto-sugges- 
tion and R[>lrltunll»m that she refuses to 
sleep in a room without a light burning, 
and yet spends most of her spare evenings 
listening to rapplngs of a tired spirit on a 
rickety table. While creating tbo name 

Bart of Wllkle Collins' dramatization, "The 
ircom Woman," Miss Whitney read up 
■lightly on spiritualism, as tbe odd character 
drawn she was called upon to make was a 
strange mixture of tbe real and tbe unreal, 
with no definite solution of tbe peculiar prob- 
lem offered by tbe author. Now sbc Is "see- 
ing things at night" 

Archii Ellis, who was for years one of 
Hyde & Hehmon's resident managers has a 
Dim version of "Camllle" wltb Sarah liern-

S. O. Wheeler's Circus Comes to Grief.— 
A correspondent writes from Bangor, Me., on 
May 20, saying: "The International Circus

House, In this city, without a cent of money, 
and no prospects of getting any until the re- 
turn of the manager, who is absent at pres- 
ent after the wherewithal to keop the show 
moving until pleasant went lie r comes again. 
As misfortunes never come single, the per- 
formers, canvassmen and others wero sur- 
prised on the morning of May 10 when they 
were informed by the treasurer and acting 
manager, Augustine Conant, that they would 
not be responsible for their bills, nor could 
they give them a penny on their bark sal- 
aries. This was pleasant, 1 assure you. A 
committee was appointed to call on tbe 
mnyor of the city and make a proposition to 

Tivc a variety entertainment In the City Hall, 
n reply the mayor gavo tbcm permission to 
show and the use of the above named ball 
for the small sum of ten dollars. Through 
the influence of several cltlieus, and the as- 
slstauco of several musicians who volun- 
teered from the Bangor Cornet Bund — and 
last, but not least, tho kind favor done by 
tho proprietors of The Banuor Dally Whtj 
Job office, in printing the program for Tbe 
occasion, free — they were able to give a show 
to a very fair house. The members of tbe 
company that remain hero at present waiting 
for something to turn up are : Madame Tour- 
nlalre. Mile. La Pctlto Mario, H. A. Klucado 
and family. Signer Alio and son. Charles 
Monroe, James Cameron, Horry Hart, Dirk 
Melville. Dick Hogan and Tom Long; also 
W. J. Mitcbcar, tho candy butcher." 
- John Robinson's Circus gave its first per- 
formance at Louisville, Ky., on May 27, and 
a correspondent says: "Such enthusiasm 
manifested I never witnessed over a show. 
It Is undoubtedly one of the best shows 
traveling this season. Miss Cordelia, eques- 
trienne, gave ber bareback performance and 
inlrly took tbe spectators by storm. Nowa- 
days we seldom bear applause under the can- 
vas for performers, but when this beautiful 
and daring equestrienne completed her sev- 



eral difficult feats she was repeatedly ap- 
plauded. She is, undoubtedly, great, riding 
backwards wltb as much ease on the hare- 
back as forwards, and leaps and goes through 
twenty balloons. When she falls from the 
horse she alights gracefully on ber feet and 
regains her place while tbe horse Is In mo- 
tion, with as much agility and ease as the 
most practiced male rider, and tbls act in- 
variably draws forth tbe loudest applause. 
She 1b only twelve years of age. Oeo. M. 
Kelly, the champion leaner of the world, is 
with tbls party, leaping bis twelve horses 
with ease. John Lolow, the clown, is uni- 
versally liked. The act. of W. H. Ashton 
end bis two boys, Frank and Willie, gym- 
nasts and contortionists, is excellent, 

Magi nicy or Carroll's Circus was at Hnys, 
Knit., on May 25. Writing from there on 
that date, a correspondent says : "Last night 
■we came near having no circus. At about 
eight o'clock, fifty miles East of this place, 
one of the wheels on the stock car broke. 
Tbe engineer, noticing It, immediatoly whis- 
tled down brakes, but could not save the 
train, for in two minutes wo were all in tbe 
ditch together, making a conglomerated mass 
of horses, quarter poles, seat plank, prop- 
erty trunks and people, but fortunately no 
one was badly hurt, although at one time 
tbe fifteen homos we had in one car com- 
menced kicking so badly that we feared 
they wonld do Injury to themselves. Wo 
were compelled to stay on tbe prairie all 
night, nnd I tell you, Dob Johnson and John 
Naylor worked with a will — and, in fact, all 
parties connected wltb tho company tried to 
outvie each other in doing good work, We 
leave hero for Leavenworth on May 30. 
Tbls place Is tbe terminus of tbe Union I'a- 
rliic Railroad, and Maglnlcy ft Carroll's Cir- 
cus is the only company coming tbls far 
West by railroad, and I can assure you that 
were we well out of this place I, for one, 
would not have any desire to visit It again. 
If any other company desires visiting tbls 
iplneo I would advise them to come with a 
rifle In ono band, a Colt's six-shooter in the 
other, and a bowie-knife between bit teeth." 

H. Klnende, general performer, appears to 
have commenced tho circus season very un- 
favorably. Ho was with tho Wheeler Circus, 
when it collapsed without getting bis sal- 
ary. Then he shipped all his fakements by 
tbe steamer Oceantts to this city, and this 
steamer was destroyed by fire tbe next day 
after arriving here, burning up all of Mr. 
KlncaOe's wardrobe. 

Dan Rice and the representative manager 
of that portion of Forepaugh's Show to 
which the "Colonel" Is attached, have had a 
"conflict" in relation to authority. The ques- 
tion of "who's who" led to apbysleal demon- 
stration, which terminated In Hun having John 
Forepaugh and twelve of the "unwashed and 
unterrlncd culleys" held to ball. Tbe cul- 
mination of this pleasant little episode oc- 
curred at Cuba, N. Y. The facts appear as 
follows: Dan. who is tbe "card," wants to 
run the institution in bis "own peculiar" 
way, and In the exercising of his functions 
"talkB politics." The writer "fills the papers" 
VAltb "extracts" from the Colonel's speeches, 
but carefully (and some people say judl-

Wild Animals on the Rampage. — Bailey's 
Circus and Menagerie, having concluded Us 
stay at Milwaukee, Wis., on May 30, left 
that city on Sunday morning, 31, for Water- 
town. About 12 o'clock tbe teams left the 
Junction of the Watertown and Waukesha 

f tikes and struck tho Pcwaukeo Road, which 
s in very bad condition. It Is supposed 
that the driver of the team containing tbo 
cages oi tho lioness and her whelps fell 
asleep, for his wagon passed over a bad 

ft.'nco In the planked road, careened and fell 
nto tbe ditch by tbe side of tbe road. The 
driver, being thrown, off, struck a stone by 
the roadside. Injuring him so badly that b.e 
let go bis borses, who started pulling tbe 
capsized cage with them and dragging it 
over the rough road. The animals in the 
cage, awakened from their slumbers, set up 
a terrible roar, which frightened tho borses, 
increasing their already rapid speed. For- 
tunately tbo horses broke from tbe wegon 
and, before going a great distance, were 
hauled up by one of the advance teams. 
Cpon attempting to lift the wagon back to 
Its ylaco It was found tbat the case of tbe 
llooeas was broken, ^ind tho trainmaster or- 
dered It let down again until the tamer who 
had the cage in charge could be Bent for. 
In letting it down a part of the cage caught 
the leg of one of the whelps, badly Jamming 
it. Hitherto the HonesB had paid no atten- 
tion to tho men gathered about, but when 
the whelp set up a cry of pain the mother 
tpraiiR up In anger. 

This set the whelp to ottering the most 
plaintive roars, when the rago of the other 
beast became terrific. It dashed to the 
whelp, began licking it, and at tbe some time 
tittered those loud roars which have made It 
so famous. Becoming enraged at Its treat- 
ment, it dashed to and fro In Its narrow

limits, throwing Itself with full force 
against the sides of tho cage. A couple of 
the lions In an adjoining apartment became 
excited over the scene, and not only added 
to tbe confusion by their roars, but strove 
to break down tbe barrier between the two 
cages. All the beasts in the eapBlzed cages 
wore yelling and striving to get out, while 
those in vans which had baited near became 
frightened and were uttering tokens of alarm 
In their peculiar manner. The horses, too, 
of all tbe vans exhibited the utmost alarm, 
requiring the efforts of the drivers to look 
after tbcm. As soon as word came to the 
band wagon the camels and elephants were 
urged forward, and came up en a quick trot. 
But no sooner had the animals attached to 
the wagon come within the sound of the 
lion's voices than they exhibited tbe most 
abject fear. 

The elephant threw up its trunk and blew 
a terrific blast — a blast that startled all, 
even tbose who had before exhibited no 
signB of fear. Its keeper bravely kept by its 
side and attempted to quiet its fetrs, but 
the massive animal was thoroughly alarmed. 
It seemed to be Insane, and Its yells were 
full of agonized fear, filled with terror. The 
camels started — some attempted to break from 
their harness, while others fell down flat, 
all uttering a peculiar cry. The band men 
leaped out, and it was found that the lions 
must bo quieted or there would be a scene 
beyond the control of all. About this time 
the lion tamer came up and hastened to the 
cage. Tbe beasts had become so excited now 
that they scarcely noticed him, bat made 
redoubled efforts to get out Into the open 
olr. Had the tamer at this time lacked In 
courage, which seemed akin to ntter reck- 
lessness, the beasts would, no doubt, have 
succeeded In making their escape.

The song writers' contest for Tiiv. Naw 
Tons: Cliitkb trouhy, which was held in 
conjunction with the Dick Jess and Harold 
Jones theatrical and novelty hnll, Tuesday 
evening, March 10, was voted one of the blg- 

8est and grandest affairs ever pulled off. 
>vor twenty-two hundred people crowded 
Into Burland's Casino to witness the contest, 
which was, needless to say, one of the hot* 
test ever held in this or any other city. 

The contest started promptly at 10.15 P. 
m. and lasted until twelve o'clock. Sixteen 
of tho foremost composers making up the 
entry list 'Hbe following Is the list of com- 



tlon they appeared la : Irving Berlin, Bert 
Grant, Joe xoung, Jeff Brancn, Lewis F. 
Mulr, Joe McCarthy, lHarl Carroll, .Maurice 
Abrahams, Seymour Brown, Ruby Cowan, 
Leonard Chick, Geo. Whlttakor,, Billy Tracy, 
Joe Goodwin, Bob Miller and Glen Leap. At 
the piano for tho above were : Thos. Heat, 
Bert Grant, Arthur Ixingc, Peto Wendllng, 
James V. Monaco, Jack GlogOAi, Al. Gumblc, 
Chas 'Roth, and Jos. Daly. 

Never before hns a contest attracted so 
much attention, Pufbllshcrx and composers 
from different cities looked on In amazement 
ait tho wonderful array of talent 

It was tho first time In tho history of the 
music business that a song writers' contest 
was given, and only composers were allowed 



to compete. Thn prize which was Tin Naw 
York Ci.iitku Trophy, consisting of a beau- 
tiful sliver roving cup, was considered "well 
worth trying for. 'Hie pick of thn present 
day popular song writers made up a program 
that wilt hardly «oon be duplicated. 

The winners, Leonard Chick and Chas. 
Roth, were in number eleven position, of- 
fering an Irish ninrch ballad, called "Your 
'Barney's 'Coming Homo." which took tho 
bouse by storm. Chick sang In a rich high 
tenor voice, and the song, which Is sntd to 
lie tmpubllHned, is one of the hirart appeal- 
ing kind, with a wonderful melody. 

The verdict, which was announced during 
tho grand march, was met with much ap- 
proval, the npphmsc and Nhoutlng being to 
loud that Mr. Chick responded with a word 
of thanks to the live Judges null the audi- 
enco in genvrnl. Mr. Chick, carrying the cup, 
with Miss Fisher as his partner, led thn 
grnnd inarch. Harry lingers was ninstur of 
ceremonies, and performed his duties la a 
capable manner. 

rcvorybody enjoyed themselves, the last 
dance being recorded some time around five 
A. m., when everybody adjourned to nearby 
r es hi u rants. 

Both Mr. Jess nud Mr. Join's worked hard 
to make the affair a Hticcesa, and deservo 
much credit for tho arrangement of things 
In general.

1 sett, directs the band connected with this or-

Cbase-Ltater Southern Co., bnt will, In response 
to tbe demand, have two showa out again this 
Bummer. The Northern show playing Ita old 
territory In Missouri and Iowa. These two old 
war-borses make some team, as anyone who baa

NO DIFFERENCE IN LENT. 

W. S. Cleveland, manager of tbe Cleveland- 
Fidelity Booking Offices, while discussing vaude- 
ville conditions tbe other day, made tbe following 
statement, which Is of Interest to everybody con- 
nected with theatrical business. 

Mr. Cleveland said that be had noticed a decid- 
ed ohange during tbe past few years, wltb regard 
to tbe falling off of business daring Lent. The 
Winter holidays before Christmas, and the Spring 
holidays, around Kasler, have always been known 
us the dullest times of the year for show business. 
Of course, there la a logical reason for tbe dull- 
ness before Obrlstmns, People of limited means 
are curtailing their expenses to meet tbe finan- 
cial strain caused by having to purchase presents 
for relatives and friends. Lent has always been 
a dull season In past years by reason of tbe fact 
Hint thcwtregolng used to be looked upon by many 
people as more or less of a worldly sin, and 
something that should be entirely given up during 
the holy season, But tbe people arc growing 
broader minded, and the cbaraoter of the enter- 
tainments provided by the theatres of to-day Is 
so greatly Improved, from a moral standpoint, 
that the feeling referred to has practically disap- 
peared. 

Mr Cleveland states that this year. If It had 
not been for hit calendar, be would never have 
known that Lent was at band, for the business 
of tbe hundreds of theatres, whose stlractlons 
•re hooked by the Cleveland-Fidelity Booking 
Service, has. with a very few exception*, been 
as good or better, during tho past few weeks, 
than it was during tbe Winter.

Aciors' Baseball Lcagrne. 

"The little round thins/' was in the beat of 
discussion around the Empress Theatre, In 
Cincinnati, last week, and Fred Hallen, of 
1 1 alien and Fuller, was the main little Thes- 
pian gay who started "the best little game 
In the world of sport" for chatter. Fred got 
busy with the actors who were In "Clncy" 
right after be slipped oot of bis crib at the 
llavltn Monday morning (about 0.30) (T), 
suggesting the organizing of sn actors base- 
ball league. His chin stuff hit for a clean 
up with "the bunch," end right away hunt- 
ress of organizing was discussed. 

It will oe known as the National iTies- 
plans* Baseball Club, and games are to be 
scbedoled wherever enough of tbe regularly 
enrolled members of the club get together 
to make up two teams. There will be no club 
ratings, hut the season's championships are 
to be Individual, with a series of prises 
offered to those achieving the highest per- 
centages In a specified number of games. 
Magnate Fred Hallen, at the meeting of 
those who were appearing on tbe bill with 
him at the Empress, was successful in pick- 
ing a full tesm, and during the week sent 
out a "call" to tho performers In other the- 
atres In tbe city to attend a meeting at the 
Cincinnati Gym. for further enrollments. 

Among tbe rules proposed are: "Members 
of the National Thespians' Baseball Club, on 
nrrlvlng In a city, shall register with the 
sporting editor or a newspaper. If enough 
members register to organize two sines, tbey 
shall hold a meeting and make arrangements 
to play. The final result of each game, 
with the individual score of each player, 
shall be duly recorded and forwarded to 
l'red Lincoln, general manager of the Sulli- 
van A Consldlne circuit. In Chicago, until 
further notice." 

George Fish, manager of tbe Empress, In 
Cincinnati, offers tbe first of tbe champion- 
ship trophies in a silver loving cnp. The 
line-up of the first "team" of the new league 
as organised from the various acts at the 
Empress last week Is; Fred Hallen, captain 
nnd first base; Victor Faust, second base: 
Jack Harrington, short stop; John H. Flem- 
ing, third base; William T. Hayes, c f . ; 
Bryce Kennedy, 1, f. ; George Fields, ft f . ; 
Wm. H. Ferris, c, and Oick Lynch, James 
Clay and Tom Dunn, pitchers. (Now Fred 
Hallen Is fearing that Glissore's braves may 
try to kidnap seme of his talent for the 
speedily growing Federals.) 

Versatile Boyds Hard At It.

eighth Street corner, for tbey are the "next

duties along the boardwalk, and get his

Frank la Distress. 

It was not so many, many weeks ago that 
the pretty wife of Frank Corbett, tenor of 
Corbett, Shepherd and Donovan, of Har- 
lem's College Inn, went to hum In Bostou, 
and to shy from being lonesome Frankle 
bought for himself a neat little bull pup, and 
wlfey returned nnd allowed the dog to stick 
nround the Corbett household on One Hun- 
dred and ninth Street. 

But the Mrs. blew away to ber same little 
hum In Beantown for another visit with tho 
old folks last week — and not only that, bat 
ye gords, she took the porp along, too, and 
Frank is a lonesome looking creature as he 
wends his way from the Inn to the cbllly, 
empty crib these nights after the Abe Frankle 
puts the ltd on the music box up there. 
That Trio Came Through. 

I got a breeze f-om the other side of the 
bridge, that "That Trio," composed of Man- 
ning Werth, Tony Olshane and Harold 
O'Harc, who plusx-d the Halsey Theatre over 
in Brooklyn. March 5-7, put the popular 
ballads and rags over In such a way with 
I he Brooklynltcs, that Manager Saxe, of that 
house, rushed back stage after the "trio's" 
first show and moved them from No. 4 to 
next to closing. 

Not surprising, for the Werth, Olshane 
and O'Hara fellers arc considerably there on 
voices and every other little necessity to com- 
pose a fine three set. Joe Symonds, who ls 
handling tho act. is therefore wearing a 
smile that would be a gutter If not for the 
hindrance of a couple of ears he possesses.. 
"Lawn Pnrty " a Winner.

magnate to be featured. In a "great big" new 
dancing act for next season, hut has not 
said "ches" as yet, even though she would 
be the proper "little soul" to feature any- 
think dancable. 

Carl Anderson for Sheedy. 

Carl Anderson, formerly a smiling occu- 
pant of the Prudential offices, has accepted 
an offer to become the same kind of a guy 
with M. B. Sheedj's forces. 

A New Combination.

any longer as he Is suffering from a pressure 
of the Drain and eye trouble, ls confined to 
his bed at 253 Fast Kinney Street Newark, 
N. J., and asks his brothers and friends to 
help him and his family. 

Thirty-one years of cqulUbriBtlc work (In 
which he featured a complete dislocation of

work oot while ehe was playing Augusta, 
Ga., week of March 2, and of course, Ty- 
Cobb was around the town he made famous 
with a pair of speed legs and his little 
willow. 

Evelyn reports that the old Southern clime 
Is some enjoyable, but she run Into a real

smiles Is as usual with this particular Evelyn. 
Freddie All Cut. 

.reddle Becque, "the picture feller," I con- 
verse about every now and then, fell Into 
New York last Saturday morning on his way 
from New City. Fell in ls right, for Freddie 
busted up three Columbia records and bruised 
Ms pedigree painfully by trying to grab oft 
too many of the Hudson tabes exit stairs 
downtown. Don't know why he was In such 
A heat to get away from New City either, 
for tbe folks over there are growing almost 
as fond of little Fred, as a certain sweet 
Madeline from Brooklyn. Anyway, Freddie 
was much cut up over the brodle, but eased 
it that business at the above "place" on Fri- 
days, Congers, N. Y., on Thursdays, and 
Rockland Lake, on Wednesdays, was "some 
pickings," even though Lent bad put a bit 
of a crimp on it all. 

Tilly Gigrich Is still acting as competently 
sb ever as pianist, and Bob Hopper as gen- 
eral assistant to Btg Chief Becque, while the 
Columbia records are singing the illustrated 
songs. 

Elliott, Yonna; and Lnekle Land. 

Some few weeks ago I sprung it at yon 
that a new trio was about to poll up and 
cause some excitement In congland, said trio 
being composed of George Elliott, Harry 
Young and Mose Luckle. 

Well, tbese boys were caught at a special 
showing last Sunday evening, and believe 
your Uncle Nut they landed with their "Three 
Pair of Sixes" as solidly as any trio of 
melody lads have m a crush of weeks. Open- 
ing with "Dancing Around" together, the 
Elliott feller followed with Bert Grant's 
(Hsrry Williams) "Let By-gones Bo By- 

EDnes''ina style we have not heard surpaseed. 
uckie and Young got all the nourishment

May for London. 

Little May Green, "tbe cbtc little come- 
dienne," will return to London soon, and 
open on the syndicate tour on Aug. 3. This 
will be this clever girl's second appearance 
In London, and as she was a humming hit 
there before it's not surprising that antici- 
pations are sweet for the "play back." 
Kick and Dell on Orpheum, 

Hufford and Chain, "The Cullud Parson 
and the Minstrel," have been routed for a 
iong siege over the Orpheum circuit. Nick 
Hufford has that wonderful funny way about

DON'T HISS THE V. C C. BALL. 

Tbe bis event of tbe theatrical season, the 
Vaudeville Comedy Club ball, will be held 
]'J at Terrace Garden, and from all Indica- 
tions will beat any of its predecessors In 
nolnt of attendance, attractions and nov- 
elties to be provided for the marchers and 

3 Dan body has searched tbe Innermost re- 
cesses of biB inventive mind, and If he 
tarries out one-half of the proposed Innova- 
tions, will keep them talking until the next 
year's ball Is held. A Dumber of prominent 
"dancers will mingle with the crowd on the 
floor, and occasionally will have the floor to 
themselves. ':> 

The committee has ransacked tbe world 
for novelties, and several that have been 
brought from Paris will be little abort of 
wonderful, being both startling and beautl- 

Kor the grand march a special film has 
been secured that will be a novelty, while 
the effect will be beautiful. There will be 
many a laugh for both the onlookers and 
those that are in tbe inarch. It will cause 
those participating to watch carefully or 
they will not recognize their partners If 
separated daring the march. 

Tbe committee has also arranged for some 
startling acts to work during tbe march. 
They will be on the floor, in the balconies 
nnd In the air. Mr. Manwarlng, the chair- 
man of the committee, has arranged for one 
net that has never been seen In New York, 
but will arrive from Europe in time to 
appear. 

Tbe decorations will be novel and most 
attrnctive. The favors and novelties used 
during the grand march have been designed 
by tbe National Equipment Company, and 
will surely be retained as valuable souvenirs. 

Charles A. Prince will again be In the 
conductor's chair, with the all star concert 
ana military band of tbe Columbia Phono- 
graph Co., forty strong. 

All Is set for the big event, SO DON'T 
. FORGET THE V. C. C. BALL.

Maech 7. 
Robert Courtneldge has been Interviewed 
od his brief experiences in the UnlteJ 
States. He declares tbat be was much lm- 

Sressed by "Potash k Perlmutter" and "Seven 
leys to Baldpate." But be saw nothing 
■specially alluring in the way of musical 
comedy, except "Queen of the Movies," of 
which be acquired the English rights some 
time ago from George Edwardes. Mr. Court- 
neldge finds tbe fault that the coherence of 
the story and the artistic completeness of 
tbe ensemble do not carry enough weight 
With the American meUem-cn-scrnc. Bongs 
Interpolated because tbey happen to be 
pretty and popular, and chorus girl evolu- 
tions that delay tbe progress of a carefully 
thought-out play are anathemas to the mana- 
ger of tbo Shaftesbury, wbo takes musical 
comedy as seriously as he used to take 
Bbakespeare. 
Two things were established at the Royal- 

ST Theatre en Saturday night by the pro- 
uctlon of Joseph Keatlnp's play, "Peggy 
and Her Husband," namely, that a clever 
novelist may write a very bad play, and that 
the good judgment, or the good luck, which 
•elected "Milestones" Is not Inseparable from 
the Vedlenne-Eadle management. The con- 
spicuous fault of tbe drama is its talkative- 
ness. Peggy's husband was an easy going, 
well-to-do young fellow, who was easily per- 
suaded to lend $2,500 to a scheming young 
Becky Sharp type. Not

TICKET SPECULATORS' TAX. 

Assemblyman Ooddar. of New York, Introduced 
a bill Id the State Legislature, March 11. for 
eonectlnt the ticket speculator evil, on plans pat 
forward several weeks ago by Klaw * Ex-longer. 

The bill provides that the mayor or any llceiie- 
lac authority In any dty of a million or inore 
Inhabitants shall license sll sellers of thentra 
tickets In the earn of $280 for each house In- 
cluded by the dealers In tholr bustneas. Tbls 
docs not street Iho business of the regulsr thea- 
tre box-office. 

It Is expected by the prorooleri of lb* measure 
that bo drastic a license law would put the 
speculators cot of business. Inasmuch as they 
oast tralDc la the tickets fn a number of theatres 
to make their business profitable. 

Mr. Stoddard took pains to embody a clause 
which would preclude the law's being Ignored. 
Each Tlolatlon of the proposed taw either by a 
ticket seller or bis agent or servant, shall con- 
stitute n misdemeanor, which, of arane, Is pan- 
tunable by anew and prison terms. Based on the 
State's taxation power the measure Is hold to be 
itaolutely constitutional.

NOTES FROM THE 
C A. WORTHAM'S SHOWS. 

The nlgbt force of the workmen for the 
C. A. Wortlmm's Shows started working in 
earnest Monday night,, and up to the present 
time have turned out two-thirds of the mag- 
nificent equipment. 

Among the visitors this week was Homer 
.Tones, of the Parker Interests. He camo 
incidentally to visit a few of his friends on 
the show and to ace whether or not the 
claims made by members of Wortbam's con- 
tingent were true or otherwise. Upon seeing 
the equipment be was amazed, and stated 
that he wan agreeably surprised. 

On Sunday nlgbt Plain Dave Morris 
breezed in. Davo was very profuse in hU 
compliments upon the general looks of things, 
and declared that the Wortham Shows was 
the Federal League of the carnival business. 
Uave has bad a world of experience and, 
although be Is not with us, he is for us. 

The recent addition to the hippodrome Is 
George Holland's big two ring circus. Mr. 
Holland brings with hlra bis entire family, 
who present eight big circus acts, He car- 
ries what is known as the finest ring stock 
in America. He also claims to have t lie only 
Arnbtnn stallion in America. This show 
will be a decided innovation, inasmuch as It 
Is a combination of three shows In one: A 
wild nnlmul show with performing lions, 
tigers, bears, pumas, wolves, and en uu- 
mumble lien act; the Aerial Darbys, In 
duplicate trapeze act; two Wild West riding 
acts and elgbt circus acts. The magnificent 
eighty foot front that is being built for this 
show is a work of art, magnificent wood 
carved, gold and silver trimmed panels, with 
paintings depleting actual scenes in the show, 
and an entire new lighting arrangement Iu 
fact, a show entirely different from any 
other carnival attraction. 

Louis Gorblellc, a feature builder of amuse- 
ment devices with a score of capable as- 
sistants, Is building the Crystal Tangle Maze, 
which bids fair to be one of the most popular 
attractions carried by the Wortham Show. 
It Is needless to say that when tho Maze 
Is completed Hint It will be a monument to 
Louie's Ingenuity. Ho will duplicate the 
Maze that lie built In Luna Park. Melbourne. 
Australia, with tho lost girl effect. Tho front 
will bo a unique affair built upon Coloninl 
lines. 

John A. Pollltt's marvelous spectnculnr 
productloD, Aurora. Is nearlng completion ; 
has two new Illusions built into n twenty- 
foot wagon which folds and suffices for his 
stage, thus saving several hours of stage 
adjusting. The combined ideas of I'ollttt, 
Wortham and Covblellc nre going into the 
construction of the magnificent front for 
this attraction. Spanger Brothers, of Chi- 
cago, aro making special carved wood design 
ihnt Is ft marvel. This front will be a white 
and gold, with a sen-shell effect for lobby. 
The front for the Diving Qlrl show described 
la a previous Issue Is built on Orlentnl lines, 
with minarets, domes, and wood carved. 

W. II. Williams - Mamie Show will be an- 
other one of the attractions that needs no 



Introduction to the amusement going people, 
llllly's front Is said to be one of the most 
mugnlflccDt ones In America, nnd the show 
this season will be greatly enlarged and 
augmented. 

John A. Pollltt's Side Show and Museum 
will be housed la a new top 22x120 feet, 
twelve banners, specially lighted system, and 
will contain freaks, wonders and curiosities 
in a large number. He has secured for this 
season one of the most adept lady divers, 
to present his uuder water exhibition, In 
the side rfjow. 

Jay W, Ooglan's Autodome is about com- 
pleted, nnd Is ready to set up for rehearsal. 
lie recently purchased two stripped auto- 
mobiles, This, we think, will be the most 
sensational show of Its kind extant. He will 
have competitive rldcB between automobiles 
mid motor cycles. He has secured auto- 
mobile drivers with a national reputation, 
and will retain some of bis best motor cycle 
riders of last season to augment the per- 
formance. 

John Francis Pit Show will feature this 
season in a new idea called "Life In Sine 
Sing." Mrs. Francis Is also hooked with 
her magnificent photograph gallery, said to 
be one of the best equipped In America, and 
Mrs. Francis has the knack of presenting a 
post-card gallery as It should be presented. 

Among the recent purchases were two 
carrying camels. These camels will be 
equipped with large Baddies, and will convey 
the patrons from one end of the Midway to 
the other. 

Our train this season will be a delight to 
the eye, all coaches and baggage cars vcstl- 
buied, nnd all big wagons uniform in ap- 
pearance, nnd covers on all fronts, etc. 

Manager Wortham is receiving letters 
(very day from friends and acquaintances 
congratulating htm upon bis outlook for the 
season. He has certainly made them sit up 
and take notice, and anybody who has been 
to Danville In the last month or bo will tell 
you that the Wortham Show will be a big 
feature In the carnival business this season. 
He has surrounded himself with some of the 
most capable men in the show business, and 
has epent money equipping this show as it 
should be equipped. 

A new departure this season will he the 
Installation of the packless runs,, conceived 
In the brain of the Wortham building force. 
They are built on the trust order, con- 
tinuous chain from end to end, thus doing 
away with Jacks entirely, and saving from 
one to three hours In loading and unloading. 
Four magnificent teams of horses were re- 
cently purchased.

A LETTER FROM POLLITT. 

Dbar Pat : I have been so daraed busy for 
a fortnight (get that) that I have hardly 
had time to breathe, and I fully Intended to 
attend The Showmen's League Ball and give 
you a little dope on the big C. A. Wortham 
Show, but tbc plans of the best of us oft 
times go awry, but I promise to do better In 
the future. Plain Dave Morris visited us 
this week and be declared that in all ils 
ninny years in carnival business he had never 
seen such a splendidly equipped show as this 
one, and Dave knows whereof he speaks. If I 
were not so modest I would give you a full 



description but words are too Inadequate to 
explain and do it Justice. Enough of tilt 
for tbc present. 

Our piece de resistance is our Hippodrome, 
Animal Circus and Wild West, combined 
with what I think is the most elaborate 
front In America, eighty feet (count 'em) 
long, magnificent gold and silver wood carved 
panels that arc the delight to the artistic 
eye.

complete two ring circus, with eight big cir- 
cus and riding acts, and the finest ring stock 
In America. The only Arabian stallion on 
the North American Continent; tie Aerial 
Dcrbys In a double trapeze act; high school

HERBERT A . KLINE WINTER 
Q UARTER S. 

BT WALTER K. SIBLEY. 



It's bard to realize that to-day, Sunday, 
March 8, 3 p. M., that the thermometer si 
this place — tbe International Fair Park, San 
Antonio, Tex. — stands at 75 degrees, when 
all through the Northern part of this country 
they are having eticb a severe Winter. But 
sneb is the fact and, the conditions being 
ideal for painting, a crew of twenty men are 
at work on the coaches, painting, varnish- 
ing, etc., and allow me to assure you that our 
train this year will be startling, to say the 
least. There has never been a show train 
painted exactly like it, and you can bet that 
It will be done the Kline way — right. 

We are quartered in an immense building, 
where all of the wagons and show para- 
phernalia are being repaired and painted, 
and if our show is not the best looking show 
on the road the coming season It's not be- 
cause we have not tried to make It so. 

As you enter tbe building the first thing 
that strikes your eyes Is tbe gigantic wagon 
which makes part of and carries tbe front 
of iSlbley's Superb Shows. This wagon — in 
fact, the entire front — has been overhauled 
and painted, many Improvements made on 
It, and I think that it Is as complete an out- 
fit of the kind as could be made. 

A little further down In the building comes 
tbe front and wagon of the International 
Lady Champion Swimmers and Divers, an- 
other Sibley show, and believe me this is 
some front and some show. The show has 
been entirely rc-bullt, in fact could not be 
recognized as the show that has become fa- 
mous throughout the country. Two enormous 
wagons, each carry a section of the diving 
tank, which can be set up nnd In operation 
in about an hour. These wagons are so un- 
usual In their dimensions that it was lm- 
ixisslble to get them built by any wagon 
builder in San Antonio, so they bod to be 
made by one of the largest wagon companies 
In America, at Hannibal, Mo. 

You next come across the outfit which 
bouses "Trlxle," the famous fat woman, and 
the way they arc putting paint and bolts in 
this framework makes it look as if they still 
had some of last season's money left. Be- 
tween you and I, "Trlxie" is a saver, and has 
some of the first money she ever made In the 
carnival game. 

Next in order comes tbe Animal Show 
front, and you who have seen It know that 
it's a pippin. It's all set up, newly painted 
and repaired, and a novel system of lighting 
Installed on It. This one is going to make 
them all talk. 

Next come tbe monstrous Autodrome of 
the Swartz 4 Turpln Co., and If it ain't the 
best ever then I want to see the better one. 
It seems to me that they bave been hauling 
the highest grade cypress lumber in here for 
that autodrome, until they must have de- 
pleted a forest of It. They tell me that It's 
only 80 degrees, but It looks like ninety-nine 



degrees, and If they don't go to a "nut" 
factory to get riders for It I don't know 
where they are going to get them. It'll be a 
thriller anyway, I can assure yon of that 

You next come to the novel amphitheatre, 
in which tbe queen of midget entertainers, 
Princess Victoria, the Miniature Melba, Is to 
give her performances this year. This is an 
entirely new structure, an Improvement In 
many ways over tbe old one, and decorated 
and lighted in an absolutely novel manner. 
The Princess will be under a new manager 
this year, one who bas bundles of money, 
and evidently isn't afraid to spend it 

Next Johnson's "Nomla" Show — I don't 
bave to tell yon that Mr. Johnson is paint- 
ing and decorating to the "queen's taste" — 
you know that he doesn't take a back seat 
from anyone when It comes to fixing np a 
show. He's also building two new wagons, 
and from present Indications it will take 
three cars to handle bis show and people. 
Some show, eh, for a carnival show. 

In tbe next door of the same building an- 
other new one is being built "new from 
stake to ball-ring." This for tbe most fa- 
mous educated hone in America. No, he's 
never been sprung In the carnival game be- 
fore. He's now working In vaudeville, bnt 
his owner thinks be would like to try our 
game, and I think that he will succeed, be- 
cause be's a "live" one, and has a real at- 
traction. 

Next the sensation of the carnival world 
— Palmer-Nlgro Kasper's new Idea — a thirty 
thousand dollar reproduction of a genuine 
Negrito village. A tribe of Aboriginal Mexi- 
cans, whose history dates back farther than 
even tbe Aztecs, shown In all of the savage 
simplicity, making everything that they re- 

aulre for their needs, showing their native 
ances, eta, the whole plan of the show 
being an exact reproduction of a native 
village, all done by the best scenic artist In 
this part of the country. If this one Is not 
copied It will be because It costs too ranch 
money to frame up. 

Then you come upon the rides, merry-go- 
round. Ferris wheel, circle wave and frolic, 
all resplendent and glorious In their new 
coats of paint and varnish. 

Lost, but not least, Felece Bernard's con- 
cessions. All new frames, all new paint all 
new canvas and some new Ideas. Felece has 
at least ten men at work on his various con- 
cessions right now, and Mrs. Bernard I 
found "head over heels" in work, directing 
cabinet makers, plumbers, painters and car- 
penters, who are overhauling and making 
changes in the two new cars that Bernard 
Just purchased. 

In fact, they bave quite a little village 
here at present, not less tban fifty people, 
every one a worker, and every one working 
for the betterment of tbe Kline Shows, 

I nearly forgot one of the most Interesting 
and novel things to be seen here— Johnny 
Helton's new cook house on wheels. This Is 
an original idea of Johnny's, built by him- 
self, and will be operated by himself. 

Johnny bas put in the whole Winter on 
this wagon, bnt be has got something that 
Is going to make some of tbe cook house 
boys sit up and take notice. As I have not 
got Johnny's permission to do so, I won't 
describe it now — maybe some other time. 

Jnst take this from me — if there are any

MRS. KENNEDY'S DEATH* 

(Special to Tag CUFFgS.) 

Kansas Citx, March 14. 

The funeral of Mrs. Con T. Kennedy, 
which took place on (March 11, 1914, was 
held from the home of her brother, George 
F. Westrup, la Abilene, Kan., where her 
parents also reside. The body was brought 
by special train from Leavenworth, Kan., 
where Mrs Kennedy had passed away at the 
home of her sister, Mrs. C. W, Parker. 

Mrs. Kennedy's death was caused by heart 
failure. Never robust, she was feeling much 
better than she bad for several years, and 
was anticipating a happy Summer with ber 
husand's show. On Monday, March 0, Mr. 
Kennedy was seated at the breakfast tabic 
when he heard his wife, who had excused 
herself a moment before, calling blm from 
upstairs. Upon reaching her be found that 
she had mistaken a lotion of phenolln and 
glycerine for a tonic she was taking, and 
had swallowed a teaspoonful of the poison. 
Tbe amount, however, would have been too 
small to prove even serious had It not been 
that Mrs. Kennedy's heart was not too 
strong, and the realisation of the mistake 
Drought on the attack from which she died 
a few minutes later, despite heroic efforts 
on the part of the physicians, who were sum- 
moned, to save her. 

The last sad rttes were conducted bv Rev. 
Be Yoe. of the Methodist Church, and the 
pallbearers were: Messrs. A. H. Barkley. 
Harley B. Tyler, 8. W. Brnndage, Will Q. 
Jones, Albert F. Myers and A tJ. Eallck. 
The coffin lay at rest, surrounded by thou- 
sands of blossoms, the tributes of tbe Elks' 
lodges, Tun CLlPPEB and hundreds of persons 
In every part of the country, who Joined 
with Mr. Kennedy In sincere mourning for 
a woman of most unusual qualities of mind 
and heart, a woman who sowed such kindly 
thoughts and deeds that the rich harvest of 
affection she reaped seemed none too great. 

Christine Westrup was born In Dickinson 
County. Kan.. March 20. 1878, and she was 
educated at boarding schools In tbat section. 
Bhe was married to Mr. Kennedy in 1899, 
since when she has been his closest adviser 
In business affairs, assisting him in making 
his enterprises the largest In the West. She 
leaves behind, besides ber -husband, her 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John F. Westrup; he* 
sisters, Mrs. C. W. Parker, of Leavenworth : 
Mrs. Henry Qadon, Mrs. Albert Cam merer 
jrti Mrs. Jake Nlckleson, of Woodward, 
Okla., and Mrs. Martha Klrpatrick. of Gala- 
tea. Colo., and one brother. George F. Wes- 
trup, of Abilene, all of whom were present 
-■ : *■■ t tor •fsiXtTCt wlvtmhe entiipthJB- of Mis 
Mikleson. Among the friends who were at 
^Mlcnc.rsjne: Mr. and Mrs. Will O.-fldnW, 
Tics. W&i ran, Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Wtrire, 
Homer :¥. -Jots*. Karl Parker, Mr. and Mrs. 



Will J. Richards, Barney Parker, W. B. 
Stevens. Mr. and Mrs. G, A. Lyons, Mrs. 
Boy Cramer, Mr. and Mrs. Hal Wayt* and 
Ambrose Kennedy, of Indiana, a coubui of 
Mr. Kennedy, who supported him in hit hour 
of sorrow. 

Tbe sincere sympathy of hundreds of peo- 
ple in every walk of life will go out to sir. 
Kennedy. To know a woman to blgh-souled 
as Mrs. Kennedy was a privilege none who 
enjoved it will forget. The great kindness 
which shone In her face will long be remem- 
bered as an inspiration to better things by 
even casual acquaintances. 

Mr. Kennedy wishes to acknowledge with 
grateful appreciation the tender expression 
of sympathy extended to him In his hour of 
need. W. Bsnnbtt Stkvxns.

as a lion tamer and saix-rlntendent of the menag-

"Years ago, when bat a hoy, he ran away

THE PROGRESSIVES. 

The Proarcaslve circuit since launcblnn their

aa to lasolog statements before puttluir them 
Into effect. Humors that are circulated from 
day to day ars neither affirmed or denl«d at the 
Progressive headquarters. But from good aothot- 
Itv the following Information seems to havn soma 
bearing upon the situation on this wheel for neit 
season. A circuit of at least UilrtF -eight houses 
la assured. The circuit will not go into the Brons. 
The Gotham Theatre on One. Hundred and Twen- 
tv-Bfth Street will In all probabtlltr he elimi- 
nated, and a bouse further West on the same 
street, be taken over. The Dewey, Instead ot 
the Olympic, on Fourteenth Street will tw a 
rrocrrsilve staiid. 

The Broad Street Theatre, Trenton, will re- 
main, so will tlie Kensington house, the People's. 

The report tbat Jean Bedlnl would not have a 
show over the circuit has been denied, and several 
prlnclpslf have signed with hla for next season. 
The ahowa now playing repeats over the circuit 
report big Dullness st tbe different stands, and

VAUDEVILLE ACTS 



Deaths- THIS WEEK'S CHICAGO VAUDEVILLE 



AND 



REAPPEARANCES 

Daule. 

Palace, Monday Matinee, March 10. 

In "Pantaloon," by Sir James M. Barrlc, 
Daile bos one of the best pantomime dra- 
matic playlets that has ever appeared at 
this house. It was originally usee! as a cur- 
tain raiser to "Alice, Blt-by-tbe-flre," at the 
Criterion Theatre, this city, but this was Its 
first presentation In vaudeville In New York, 
and the audience that packed this bouse to 
the doors was high in praise of the offering. 

Dasie was called upon In the action ot 
the piece to perform her remarkable toe 
dancing, and she responded ns seldom before. 
Her dancing Is a work of art, and has been 
so often commented upon la these columns 
that It Is only left to state that this wonder- 
ful little lady is in a class by herself. 

The story Is Interesting from start to fin- 
ish, and tills of Columbine, tbe sweetheart 
of Harlequin, who Is being forced by her 
father, Pantaloon, Into a marriage with 
Clown. Columbine acquaints Pantaloon with 
her love for Harlequin, but the parent fears 
to lose his position In the mimic world if he 
incurs the displeasure of Clown by permitting 
her to marry Harlequin. Columbine breaks 
her engagement with Harlequin and prepares 
for tbe ceremony with Clown. But Harle- 
quin exercises his magic wand, paralysing 
Clown and Pantaloon by bis mysterious 
power, and flees with Columbine In bis arms. 

Years later Pantaloon is found alone In 
bis dreary house, broken in heart and health 
by tbe loss of his prestige. Clown returns 
to taunt blm about his misfortune and to 
twit htm about his daughter and Harlequin, 
who have married and become vagabonds. 
After Pantaloon bas stood his Insults as 
long as his patience will permit, and has 
ordered Clown from tbe house, Harlequin 
and Columbine, In rags, enter and appeal for 
forgiveness. Pantaloon is obdurate until he 
aeea their child, a little clown, and then bis 
Joy knows no bounds. 

It consumes about thirty minutes, on full 
stage. Jack.

illoyt, Hoff and Adele. 
Stab, Matinee, Mabch 9. 

Adele Morrlssey, who for the past year 
and a half has been doing a single in vaude- 
ville, has closed her act. and last week 
joined Hoyt and Hoff, who now call them- 
selves Hoyt, Hoff and Adele, the Golden 
date Trio. On March 9 they opened at the 
Star, and they put their new act over In 
great style. 

Two men and a girl offered a singing antf 
piano and violin act. Both men in evening 
dress, one at the piano and other with vio- 
lin, with girl singing, making three changes. 
They opened with T, In tbe Town Where I 
Was Born." This was followed by the vio- 
linist rendering a solo from the operetta, 
"Mile. Modiste/' Next the girl sang a kid 
song in kid attire, "What's the Good of 
Being Good," ending same with a ballet 
dance. In tbe next number man at piano 
ploys his own version of "Tbe Rosary," play- 
the same first in the original, second In 
waltz time, and finishing same In ragtime. 
Trio then finishes well with the best rag 
heard in a long time, entitled "Stick to Your 
Mother. Mary.'' Tbe act went big. Thir- 
teen minutes, in one.

Princess Doveer. 

FCLTON, BBOOKLY.V, EVENING, MABCEI 9. 

Presenting a novel offering in her por- 
trayal of two Egyptian dances. Princess 
Doveer, at the opening of ber act, Is seen 
ceated on a throne surrounded by four husky 
negro slaves, suitably garbed in Oriental 
attire. 

The dance which follows Is a remarkable 
exhibition of the control Princess Doveer 
has over her shoulder muscles. She wore aa 
Egyptian gown and bead-dross, studded with 
brilliants, very rich and in keeping with the 
"dance * In her barefoot dance, which fol- 
lows, she wore a black chiffon over-dress, 
which looked very effective as the Princess 
swayed through the mazes of the dance. This 
dance was a direct departure from the first 
one and proved tbe Princess a clever expo- 
nent of her art. There Is nothing repulsive 
or suggestive in the act, It being a clean, 
artistic exhibition of Egyptian dancing, run- 
ning seven minutes, full stage. Sid.

I J. C. Lewis Jr. and Company. 

Losw's Seventh Avsncb, Mabch 9. 

The Lewis family is presented in this set, 

featuring Little Billy above bis father, mother 

and sister, in "Bill) 'a Santa din." Little Billy 

la cute, has possibilities (or future years, but la 

fiven a bit too much of tbe present torn'a action, 
t rather robbed against tbe grain of tbe audi- 
ence this evening. 

Mrs. Lewis displayed no singing voice this par- 
ticular evening, possibly due to the off color dis- 
position of Jake Lubln's six piece orchestra. Tie 
sister might be used more. She is merely a pretty 
little bunch of scenery In tbe act now. 

Father gets Into It for a few ticks of the la- 
gersoll at the finish, as a husband and father who 
returns from the West, reformed and rich, and It 
la a reconciliation at curtain time. Sixteen min- 
utes, interior. Pile.

"Mr. Waldron was a thorough business man, 
and bad the reputation of being one of the clever- 
est glass manipulators in this country, and one 
of the last, It not the last, In bis line of art. 
He was one of those good, whole-sooted, well met 
fellows who will be greatly missed among the 

? rotation. In which he had a large following ot 
rtends. Mr. Waldron was a native of Boston.

the American Music Hall, which position he re- 
alised to engage In the real estate business In 
Chicago, In which he continued up until his de- 
parture for the West. It was Mr. Noonan who 
engineered the deal whereby tbe Palace Theatre 
in Chicago was built.

seen at this house in some time. Jack Nor- 
worth bas a novel act. Ho opens with some 
new songs and finishes with the old. In tbe 
middle of his aot he travesties Raines's ad- 
ventures in a most entertaining way, with 
tarlcequo motion pictures. The Heuman Trio 
opens tho show with the best bicycle act in 
vaudeville, outside of that of Cbas. Ahearn. 
The race Is a great fin hah. Cecelia Wright

Edith Walker, once a mezzo-soprano with 
tbe Metropolitan opera, and now a toll- 
Hedged Wagnerian soprano, will Join the 
Chicago company next season. 

The interesting picture of Ethel Barry- 
more, wbich for several years bas hang in 
the lobby of Powers', and which ahows Miss 
Barrymore In tbe first role of any import- 
ance she ever assumed, that of tbe maid in 
"Rosemary," a portrait long cherished by 
the actress, since tbere are but a few in 
existence, was recently presented to Miss 
Barrymore by Harry J. Powers. The latter 
had long known tbat Miss Barrymore was 
eager tor tbe picture, but awaited her ar- 
rival in Chicago to present her with It. In 
tbe portrait Miss Barrymore Is pictured with 
her uncle, John Drew, and Maude Adams, who 
at tbe time of "Rosemary" was Mr. Drew's 
leading woman. 

Maurice Browne, the founder and director 
of tbe Little Theatre, submits, more as a 
confession than as a boast, some figures tbat 
should interest every person who Is trying 
to give tho public what it wants. Since ho 
founded the Little Theatre early in 1012. he 
has produced eighteen plays, often with love- 
ly effect, and be has done this at a total out- 
lay of $808.82, or at tbe average of less than 
$50 a play. Of these eighteen productions, 
two have been revivals, but ono of these re- 
vivals was completely restaged. On bis small 
stage be frequently has achieved a result of 
which aoy producer might be proud, what- 
ever his expenditure. Brownes record would 
seem to Indicate that the American Theatre 
Is less In need of money than It Is of brains. 

Tbe fifteen or sixteen little plays which 
will come from tbe Princess of New York 
to Chicago's Princess, on Monday, 23, re- 
quire more than a set of drops and a little 
parlor furniture for tbelr material equip- 
ment. The heaviest part of the train, which 
will carry the company, will be its baggage 
section. Tbls will convey fifteen complete 
productions, and it is gala that nothing ex- 
cept the Metropolitan Opera Company or 
Rlngllng's Circus ever embarked from New 
York with more weighty or complicated Im- 
pedimenta,

TABLOIDS, 



Tabloid, looked upon as a passing fancy at 
amusement seekers of the Middle West when first 
taken np by Boyle Woolfolk, bas passed auotber 
season, and instead of waning in popularity is 
winning over new managers every week. It la 
interesting to note tbat theatres being booked by 
other agencies than the Western Vaudeville Man- 
agers' Association bare turned to tbat concern 
for tabloids tbls Spring. When the managers feel 
that their patrons are tiring of straight vaude- 
ville and need a tonic. The Family Theatre, at 
Mollne, HI., booked by J. 0. Matthews, Is now 
plsylng tabloids tbe "last half" of each week. 
Tbe Gaiety, at Kankakee, 111., which bas been 
playing Jones. Llnlck & Scbaeter bookings, turned 
to tabloids for a brief period before going into 
stock. 

Tbe Royal, in Chicago (formerly the Cottage 
flrovo Empress), turned to dramatic tabloid last 
week and did a profitable business. Many bouses 
hi the Southwest have switched to the Inter-State 
for bookings to get tabloids. Other houses in the 
vicinity of Chicago are said to contemplate such 
a change at thla time. The popularity of tabloids 
In the Southeast Is one of tbe topics of conversa- 
tion among those who like to keep track of the 
happenings in tbe amusement world. Charles 
Crow), of the Chicago U. B. O., Is kept on the 
alert to supply tbe demand, end lately bas been 
forced to pat In two shows that failed to make 
good. 

W. S. Butterflold, the drat circuit manager to 
manifest an actlvo Interest In the tabloid gnine, 
Is still playing them right along, and Sods 
Michigan folks welcome them as enthusiastically 
as when that form of amusement was an, Innova- 
tion. Dramatic tabloid bas been a new de- 
velopment of tbls season, but tbe departure opens 
up a field In wblch no producer Is equipped to 
prosper but Robert Sherman, it aeemr. To suc- 
ceed la tablobllng dramatic shows successfully 
tbe producer must be a dramatist, a atage direc- 
tor, a seine builder, acquainted with tho wants 
of the tbeat re-goers of tho smaller cities, and ac- 
quainted with tbe clever ditinatlc people who can 
be secured at salaries reasonable In tabloid. 
ltobert Sherman is all of these — most of all be 
Is a stage director. It Is to his ability In stag- 
ing tbe dramatic successes of recent years tbat 
I.. F. Allardt, Sam Thall, Frank Thlelen, and 
other tabloid authorities attribute his success. 
Mr. Sbeiman has long been Identified with dra- 
matic work. Be baa owned and directed numer- 
ous stock organizations, and has produced numer- 
ous ono-nlgbt stand and Stelr-Havlin circuit at* 
tractions. 

While it would seem tbat tabloid would suffer 
wltb a single dramatic producer sucb Is not the 
ease, for Mr. Sherman is prolific In bis output, 
and occasionally others will contribute a single 
attraction. 

Boris Woolfolk is tbe leader in a campaign to 
establish tabloid In the East, lie has arranged 
to send several of his attractions on the Wllmer 
A Vincent Circuit, and once aeen F.ast, his shows 
are certain to five managers in that territory tbe 
best Impression ot the newer form of amusement. 
Mr. Woolfolk seems to have been cut out for a 
tabloid producer. Be entered the field at a 
pioneer period, and has elnco been recognised as 
the leading producer. He gets more money for 
his ahows than other producers do, but tbe Middle 
West managers show no disposition to complain 
on this score. Mr. Woolfolk has lost none of bis 
enthusiasm about tbo condensed bills with the 

?asslng of years. He bas noted with regret tbat 
be West bas not taken to tabloid with open arms, 
bet be has not lost heart, and plans another in- 
vasion out In that direction after tbe Bast has 
6\rr rendered. 

Halton Powell hss risen rapidly In tbe tahlold 
world, and he is looked upon to-day as the best 
producer in the game. Mr. Powell has been suc- 
cessful In every production that he has ever pat 
oat, and It Is said that he has more tabs to-day 
on the road than any other producer la the busi- 
ness. Middle West managers arc now coming to 
telleve that tabloid will be permanent amuse- 
ment, and are planning upon them for next season 
aud the season after.

fered an Internal rupture while attending to some 
business la the Garrlck Theatre Building. She 
waa taken to tbe office ot a physician In tbe 
building who diagnosed tbe case as serious, and 
sent ber to the American Hospital, where an im- 
mediate operation waa st osce decided upon. Dr. 
Thorek stated that while the surgical procedure 
was a moat severe one Mrs. Wallace wjll recover. 
She la In room five, and would like to hear from 
friends. 

The Wilson Avenue bill tbls week Is as fol- 
lows: Big Bob, tbe Australian boxing kangaroo; 
Autumn Ball, Tlollnlate extraordinary; Little 
Lord Robert, known as the smallest comedian 
In tbe world; Billy Ballugan and Dama Sykes, 
late with "A Trip to Washington" Co. ; Bob 
Matthews and Al. Shayne, In "Dreamland," an 
Inn. agination la three scenes. This set was a 
tremendous success at toe Palace Music Hall last 
week. The last half ot the week tbe bill opens 
wltb the Mualcal Conservatory, a comedy black 
face mualcal act; Gene and Arthur. In fan, song 
and planologae; "When Women Rule," Brown, 
Harris and Brown; closing the show with the

Hamilton Coleman, of Chicago, went East 
last week for tbe purpose of seeing tbe Menlo 
Moore acta which are now appearing tbere, with 
a view towards making Improvements if be finds 
any are necessary.

tion ot his offices, wbleb will be moved to tbe 
Majestic Theatre Building on May 1.

cess on the Association circuit. 

Memo Moore Is to produce a new show, which 
the Black Friars, a Chicago University society, 
will stage at some date during tbe Spring. Mr. 
Moore turned tbe selection of tbe cast, which will 
begin this week, over to Hamilton J. Coleman. 

Bill Powebb and bis herd of four elephants 
appeared at McVleker's Theatre laat week, and a 
big bit was registered by this act which Is un- 
doubtedly one ot the best of its hind in the coun- 
try. Befinement in every sense of the word is 
one of tbe big features of tbe Powers' act tbe 
people as well as the animals making a neat and 

S'etty appearance. A noticeable part ot tbe turn 
the fact that no books are osed to prod the 
elephants along, but the animals do their tricks 
without making these necessary. Tbe smooth 
manner In whlcb the turn is worked clearly shows 
bow successfully Mr. Powers has trained his big 
animals. Mr. Powers' two daughters are very 
prominent In the sot, and the way they handle 
the eleptaatB la ipecucu'.ar and exhibits treat

skill snd nerre. Both young ladies are prettily 

f owned. Miss Janet Powers baa charge of the 
Ig talking elephant, Bocklc. and she Is one of 
the few women to work a wild elephant act. She 
does exceptionally well In this stunt and ber 
skuer Julia, is Just as successful with tbe baby 
elephant who la but four years old. The three 
big elephants do a circus stunt to conclude tbe 
act and this makes a brilliant finish. Tbe total 
weight of the animals in this act la 22,000 
pounds. 

Halton Powell's "Henpecked Henbt," cos 
of tbe flrst tabloids which registered remarkable 
success. Is to go on tbe road again next season. 
This was determined thla week when Halton 
Powell went Into conference wltb managers book- 
ing through the Association and found tbey were 
anxious to have tbe tabloid once more. It ti 
rather unusual for a tabloid to live to its sec- 
ond season, and the long life of "Henpecked 
Benry" is therefore the more surprising. 

PEPPLE A Susan's "The Qibl tsom Maxim's"

fact, many people claim It was the best tabloid 
ever presented In that city.

ATKINS WRITES JOE HEPpT~~ 

Omctoo, March 10. 
Mr Dear Jox.— There seems lo be always some- 
thing fascinating to me about tbe average red 
circus mater. While passing down Fifth Avenue 
one night last week my eyes chanced to observe 
t big billboard advertising tbe coming of Sing- 
ling Brothers' Circus (or their annual engagement!, 
wltb tbe new spectacular production this season thing for 



of "Solomon and the Queen of Sheba — 1,290 char- 
acters, etc" I can pass a thirst parlor, Joe. 
without any trouble at all, bat when t see a 
handsomely gotten up circus poster, or lithograph, 
I get "circus drunk" at once, and moat stop to 
see what It looks like, just like we did when we 
were barefooted boys and looked wltb awe upon 
tbe many wonders which tbe coming circus was to 
bring to our respective towns. 

Those were happy days when we could hardly 
wait until circus day came around, so we could 
see for ourselves tbe many woudera, being always 
about the first one to greet the circus train, see 
the switch engine back tbe train on tbe tide 
track and watch the unloading of the cook wagon, 
bones, elephants, cages and other things carried 
with the average circus. You will so doubt re- 
member, Joe. bow you scampered ont to tbe 
ground and was one of an eager throng watching 
tbe putting; op of the "big top," and wished you 
could one day go out wltb a circus, which wish 
yon have fully realised. 



toal friend, Louis R Cooke wIU do this season. 
it is hardly probable that • general agent who 
bat shown the generalship of Mr. Cooke In many 
circus opposition campaigns, will be permitted to 
rest this season unless it Is on his own accord. 
A man who can route a Wild West show and 
strike nearly every town abend of tbe two big 
shows on the road is not apt to take things easy 
on this account unless be is arranging for some- 
tiling for season of 1015, and has not yet gotten 
bis plans in definite shape for publication. There 
are many others, Joe, who would like to know 
movements of Mr. Cooke for thla season. 

I believe, that before many years Charles Ring- 
ling will be heralded at tbe ''James A. Bailey" 
of clrcusdom. I bear of bis good work, done In 
an nnostenatloua manner, antl tbe high esteem 
in which be la held by all circus men. While to 
New Eaven, Oonn., three Summers ago 1 ran 
across tbe Singling Show, and while looking 
around I talked to a veteran circus man taking 
tickets at the aide show, who laid that he had 
been with the BlagUags for a good while and 
tbtt while be was incapacitated for good work 
Mr, Singling, rather man to hire htm moping 
around home, had given htm this position so be 
could be out wltb tbe boys. Such acts aa tbls 
tend to make him a "prince of good fellows" 
without bra having to hire a brasa band to dis- 
play hit generosity. He also made a good im- 
pression last August on tbe employees of the Two 
Bills' Show stranded at Denver, when tbe sbow

coming of a circus brings to tbe inhabitants of 
many of tbe towns and cities la which they ex- 
hibit, and it looks te me that Instead of haraiis- 
Ing the circus In every way possible in tome 
cities tbtt the officials shouid lid in bringing 
thla form of amusement to their midst In order 
to make the people more contented. I never yet 
taw a boy who cared to live in a town which did 
not permit the circus to come in, but wanted to 
make a start in some other community thst did 
welcome this most enjoyable form of amusement. 

Tbe City that charges a high license Just 
simply "kills the goo*e that I.tjs the golden ega" 
and loses more than it gains, and it Is strange 
tbe officials do not realise it. In going to tbe 
circus, Joe, everybody Is on an equality; the 
aristocrat can see no more than the humble peas- 
ant, and cannot enjoy It any setter. 

lo gating at the circus poster I could not belp 
but think of tbe hundreds of thousands of people 



the Rlngllnga will make happy thla aeason, and 
' by all f ' 
nefactors when they bring 
such wonderful exhibitions within the reach of 



they should be regarded by aii'falr minded people 
as public educational benefactors when they brmr 



everyone. While they may "take some money out 
of town." the average citlxen does not atop to 
think what It costs to run tbe circus from day 
to day for tbe advertising department alone dur- 



to tbe wall, he Invited them all to tbe show, gave 
them good seats, and 1 understand tbe Singling 
boys sssiited the Two Bill employees in a finan- 
cial way. This Is all for this time, Joe. Toun 
fraternally, W. A. Atkihs. 

SEND ON SORE MORE, JACK* 

Pobtlakd, Ore., March 0. 
'Data Jot— Arrived out bere last week, and 
the weather baa been Just like Spring: of course 
we hsve the usual rain every other day, so tbe 
natives wHl feel good. As for me I can get 
along Just as well without them. Everything is 
buBtle and bustle around Winter quarters, where 
Rice A Dore and AI, G. Barnes are stored at the 
Country Club. Bice ft Dore bare purehated two 
new can, and are having them renovated and 
painted. The motordrome is set op and will bavo 
a coat of paint, as well as all the wagons. An 
entire new front is being painted for tbe water 
show which It unusually attractive. In fact, the 
whole show will look spick and span, and brand 
new when we open here April 4, onder tbe auspices 
of tbe Press Club. Eighteen shows are now con- 
tracted, with many other applications. Among 
tbe late arrivals are J. O. Miller, Dick Daven- 
port. Geo- Ireland, Geo. Bton and many others.

of amusement was furnished hut week at Win- 



Coliseum, St. Louis, April 11 ; the Singling Show, 
In Chicago, at the Coliseum, on 11; and tbe 101 
Ranch Wild West, on April 20, It can be said 
that tbe circus season of 1914 Is In full blast. 

It Is to be sincerely hoped, Joe tbtt Pern will 
be free from tbe disastrous flood sucb as over- 
took tbst section about a year ago, and prevented 
tbe Hagenbeck-Wallaoe Show from opening at tbe 
St. Louis Coliseum, after tbe men were on tbe

ctrnlval managen are not as particular as they 
should be about keeping their paraphernalia In 
good shape. When tbey are In a town for a 
week there is no excuse for the employees to go 
untidy aa to their personal appearance. It Is 
also a bad advertisement in the average small 
city for the carnival attaches to try and consume 
all the "boose" In the town. However. Joe, I 
notice lo the last few yean a decided Improve- 
ment in tbe personnel of tbe average carnival 
organisation, and that tbey are using more care 
In putting on a line of shows that will be so good 
that tbey will be invited lo return again tbe next 
reason. There Is some excuse for a circus or- 
ganisation being untidy when tbey make long 
Jumps, playing one day stands, bat for the car- 
nival company there Is no excuse whatever that I 
can see. Paint does not coat much, and a little 



tie exercise. Tbey were is frisky as young colts, 
one in particular climbed to the top of the grand 
stand and dived off bead Srst. Fortunately he 
escaped without Injury. Harry LVrre claims he 
bad heard so much water tbow all Winter that be 
wit learning to dive. 

At tbe Baker Theatre Is a couple of well-known 
Chicago boys. Ted Woodruff and ltsyroood Wells. 
They have both been ben twenty-seven weeks, 
and are Portland favorites. 

Earl Wilson and Harry Clark have a store

If these newt items arc any good to you will

A vague rumor hat seeped Its Way from Geneva. 
O,, and bas permeated every nook and corner of 
Chicago clrcusdom, to tbe effect that Walter L. 
Main Intends to resurrect the "Fsahlon Plate 
Shows" season 1015. This report, wbtcb awaits 
confirmation, haa naturally aroused all sorts of 
comment and conjecture. 

It came wltblns my province to handle tbe 
money for the Fsahlon Piste Shows In 1902, the 
list seaion tbls organisation was on tbe road. 
It has been a source of wonder to me wby "Gover- 
nor" Main let go hit hold upon the reins, Just 
when be retched tbe apex of tils circus affairs. 

It would not be at all aurprislog to me to tee 
the Walter L. Msln Fashion Plate Shows back on 
tbe road again. Folk down In tbe New England 
country entertain t high regard for the Walter

ATTRACTIONS" AT THE NEW YOBK THEATRES. 



A theatrical story that aroused more than or- 
aMjiirj Lenten Interest forecast the remodeling of 
Itobinwcm'j Opera House, the historic amusement 
place opposite Olty Hall. This bouae was closed dur- 
ing tho administration of Major Hunt because of 
failure to measure up to Iho modern requlremeata 
of safetr. The cbaugee will bring Robinson's bock 
on tho list of local playhouses. . ' Another out of - 
the ordinary Incidents was tho arrest of Manager 
Ilarry Usrt for admitting minors to the Standard. 
Be was vigorously prosecuted. ""' 

Obind oi'iha liotisa (John II. tlavllo, mrr-)— 
George Arllas Is coming March 10, in "Disraeli." 
Last week audiences of splendid ante laughed at 
Bupiert lingoes' Pullman car carnival, "Excuse 
Me," la which Willis Sweatman, as the Porter, 
was the bright, particular cboolied star. George 
Berrr, with his surplus avolrdupola, made Jltnmj 
Wellington rank second In interest. The fair 
tonrUts were as pretty as a collection of pictures 
from beauty's own gallery. There waiin't a weak 
epot in the cast. Charles Macdonald arrives 23,

oomea back 15, to "repeat" la "Within the Law." 
Last week, "The Bird of Paradise,": one of last 
year's successes, did very well. Richard Wataun 
Tally's pathetic drama of love and self-sacrifice 
was again seen with Lenore Ulrica as the • little. 
Ilnwallan heroine— a character In which she was 
very sweet and very lovable. Isabel Randolph 
was a splendid* Diane, and William Morris, as 
Capt. Morris, wss very One. The Hawaiian mu- 
sicians contributed no small part to the succen 
of the play by their quaint songs — they might 
almost be called walls— set to uncanny music.

CARNIVAL CONVERSATION 



L* 



By WILLIAM JUDKENB HEWITT, 
("Bed Onion.") 



Ok tub way to the "duff; bouse" we little 
carnival children go. 

Why all this excitement about bookings? 
What spots did you get? While you are 
claiming the earth why didn't you try and 
get a real carnival together? 

Haiinev It. Pabkbb. — now many are you 
going to play like Toledo was In 1012? 

Harry W. Wright. — Wo have been In- 
formed that you are the general agent for 
A. B. Miller Greater Shows. That being the 
case A. B. has one of the best general agents 
In the business. Allow us to congratulate 
both of you. 

Lion W. Washburn and C. A. Wortham, 
according to all reportB. are framing up car- 
nivals of the highest class. Honestly, doesn't 
look like the carnival business Is dead. 

Tom and Zbi.ua Dunn are still making a 
big hit In New Orleans. What manager Is 
going to Invite them back Into the carnival 
business. 

Thebe won't bo as many carnivals on the 
lots and streets two weeks after the season 
opens as there now Is on paper. No. he's not 
knocking. Some people can't stand the truth. 

Nbbd Stouqhton. — Never mind what peo- 
ple say, you Just stay on the Job and show 
them that they are all wrong. Some people 
do hate to see a man get along In the world. 

C. W. Parker. — We are Borry to learn of 
your recent Illness. 

Thk H. W. Campbell United Shows were 
reported to be In Demlng. N. Mcx., last week. 

Jui.hs If, Kabfbr has a surprise that will 
bo announced shortly. . 

Tub wise manager pinna to organize his 
carnival and open the season at logical 
points at the psychological moments. 

John W. Common and Clbo, "Thb Girl 
in Ban" (Mrs. Compton), arrived In Von 
Ormy, Tex. (a health resort fourteen miles 
from San Antonio), from Daytonla Beach, 
*«., three weeks ago. Cleo. "The Girl )u 
I'M, • la In very bad health. Her many 
friends will bo sorry to hear this. You all 
know her, 

W. W. Williams, who Is manager of 
David Lachman's Ferris wheel, which has 
been stored in San Antonio for the Winter, 
has shipped the wheel to Cuero. Tex., where 
It Is now part of the Mlller-Lnchman Shows. 

Ohcau C. Noblb. If be stays In the car- 
nival business, will And that his services 
will be much In demand in the future. Oscar 
t-. has been In the game, off and on, for 
nbout fifteen yearB. The jiast four or flv* 
seasons he has been with Rlngllng Brothers' 
Circus during tbe regular circus season. 

Jon N. Calms' Cabaret Show was one of 
tbe money getters at tbe Michigan State 
Fair last season. We look for Joe N. to 
nave a real show this season. Let him tell 
you with what carnival. 

Don't kiss that chorus girl, you are liable 
to die with painter's chollc. 

Cousin says : "Why all of this raving, and 
claiming things you do not possess?" lie 
further says: 'Conserve yourself, and don't 
not* tell them things that you did not meant." 
„ P. J. Snbll (Texas Bud) Is said to have 
forgiven tho kidnappers. P. J. — What's this 
we hoar about you putting out a wagon 

E.10W? 

_ J. B. Warrbn.— What carnival does the 
Giant Kish go with? J. It— We trust that 
you will have more luck in transporting him 
than you did "Bill," the sea-cow. 



Gov. C. Dodron hns the motordrome with 
the Gorman Greater Shows. Charles Do 
Krcko 'bos the Beautiful Orient with tbe 
same organization, 

Don C. Stevenson writes that he Is be- 
ginning to get things In shape for the open- 
ing season of tho Southern Amusement Com- 
pany for the opening of the regular season. 
Percy Tyrrell, manager of the Gunter 
Hotel, San Antonio, requests all carnival 
and show people making his hotel their head- 
quarters for mall, to Kindly forward their 
change of address promptly, in order that 
their mall can be looked after as It should be. 
There goes that malt question again. Why 
don't you fellows attend to those things? 
This might apply to other hotels as well. 

Mothkr-in-law aays : "Bxcesdve or sjper- 
flous flattery is hypocracy," and as many 
times applause that Is not meant, "and In 
many cases docs file flattered one an in- 
justice." Oh, Minnie, Its raining, door, flont 
forget your rubbers. 

The New York CLiprnn endeavors to 
avoid mU-lnformntlon. At any time that 
Bed Onion is wrong he is willing to admit 
tbe error. 

C. D. Baefield. — Tell us what's going on 
in Georgia. 

Steve A. Wooes Is a flrit class general 
agent, even If he did spend all of one Sun- 
day counting matches In the buffet car. 
Steve A., you have our best wishes for a 
successful season. 

Georoe D. N. Hbnnesby.— What has be- 
come of you? Spike Henncssy, same thing, 
Teddy Ward, nlBO. 

Johnny j. Jonbb. — How many of these 
towns are you going to play : Savannah, 
Ga. ; Charleston, B. C. : Wilmington, N. C. j 
Washington, N. C. ; Bllzabeth City. N. ft: 
Norfolk, Va. ; Newport News, Va. ; Richmond, 
Washington, Hanover and Wllkes-Barre, 
Pa., and Cumberland. Md.? 

Father-in-law says: "Ib It possible to 
have a pit show with having monkeys on 
are front?" 

II. C. Wilson. — Everybody thought that 
you were going back in the carnival buslnr™. 
this scnaon with your animal show. How did 
yon happen to fool them? 

Will Z. Smith. — Are you going with 
Jnmcs Patterson with your Glass Show? 
Will Z., what's new in the Glass Show line? 
Walter C. Van Horn says that tho prin- 
cipal nffce fixtures of some premiers con- 
sists of a package of Bull Durham and a few 
Zlg-Zag cigarette papers. 

John J. Riley, who was last season with 
Wortham & Allen, where are you? 

Bobby Newcomb, who Is now an actor 
with Robert Million!, was at one time a 
talker, and a good one. He was standing 
In front of the Infant Incubators on which 
attraction he was working, and a lady walked 
up to him and sold: "Mister whst do you 
feed those Infants on?" Bobby replied : 
"Goat's milk." The lady said: "Why?" 
Bobby Bald: "So when they grow up they 
will be able to butt in right/' 

Henry Paulbbn. — When are you going to 
build us a new Working World busy or 
Model City? They are in great demand. 
Henry, you can speak for publication when- 
ever you feel like It. 

W. A. PARTBtDOB, "Tho Human Art Gal- 
lery,*' has been making Galveston, Tex., his 
Winter quarters since tbe closing of last 



season, where ho has been tattooing the 
"sailor boys." Ed. Hoebecke was In Galves- 
ton lost week. 

T. M. Warren's latest postcards have nr- 
i Ived. One from Waterloo, Belgium, Paris, 
France, and London Eng. T. M. was In Ire- 
land last week. He says he saw a Ferris 
wheel In Paris that rcmlnod blra of tbo 
opening of the Con. T. Kennedy Shows, and 
that he will soon be In America to tRko up 
his season's duties, probably by the time that 
this Is In print. 

HniiiEiiT A. Kline thinks the man who In- 
vents a lot dryer will make himself rich. 
Herbert A. has had this In bis mind for 
several years. Wonder why ho don't do it. 

Brother ssys that somebody ought to In- 
vent a portable spotlight for some near car- 
nival managers to carry around with them. 
Oh, why be so cru-cl? 

Penny Brothers, tho twin auctioneers, of 
Greensboro, W. Vs., would moke excellent 
talkers for carnival shows. They have a line 
of conversation that compels attention, and 
Is at once convincing. They make lots of 
money felling tbclr real estate. Who could 
ufford to pay them what they would be 
worth ?

carnival business ttaU season ti general 
tgent, and with who? 

W. David Cohn wai asked tho other day 
what he thought of New York. W. David 
replied : "Little doee New York care what I 
think of it." 

W. H. Ittci hat certainly got some, ronto 
for the Rice k Dore Water CamlvaL 

K. O. Babxoot is going to have one of the 
real carnivals this season. Way up In class. 
K. Q. Is going to make the territory where 
the name of K. Q. Barkoot Is well known. 

Papa, because a man wears a student cap 
Is that a sign that he is wise? 

Austin, Tax., plans to have a celebration 
July 4, to commemorate the opening of tho 
dam. Hurrah 1 Austin Is at last going to 
have that dam celebration. 

Claud* Hagin Is a master In the art of 
show construction. We have often wondered 
why he has not given the carnival world 
something In the way of portable shows. 
Claude pat on many Mg productions at the 
Cincinnati celebration In years gone by. 

JosiPB B. TnoENET, general agent, 
Greater ghecsley Shows, writes from Slue- 
Held, W. Va„ that he has closed seven good 
towns for the early season tour with Mat 
organisation. Joseph H. — Must give yon 
credit, tho route does, indeed, look good. 
Pretty well fox "An Old Bcout." 

Tub Oreater Shecsley Shows' staff la as 
follows : 3. M. Shecsley, owner and manager : 
I'hll Dlsworth, business manager ; Mrs, J. M. 
Sneesley, secretary and treasurer : Joseph H. 
rhonet, general agent; Bam Ach and J. 
Tuxden, contests and publicity promoters. 
Take a good look at the Oreater Shcesley's 
alrttUlp, It's a hl-plane, and It sure do fly. 

Mama, I heard a man say the other day 
that he was a finished artist Tea, daughter, 
your rather saye that that finished artist 
shall never work around this show any more. 

Obohqb) M. Cohan. — We don't know what 
some carnival people would do If you 'jnrt 
never said "always leave tbcm laughing when 
you say good-bye." 

Todd A Bomb United Shows have been 
playing Alabama for tho past several weeks. 
William W. Mau has been acting as business 
manager. T. J. Todd and Leon Todd, solo 

DanB. Robinson, I. N. Flsk, Marcelus 
Meeks, Clarence B. Meeks and J<x.n H. 
Shields, quite a number of the "bunoh send 
their regards to you fellows. 

Sister wants to know If you are keeping 
up with "The Spirit or the Times." In other 
words, are you using advnuccd Ideas? 

William W. Mau has been In the carnlvs./ 
business for something like eighteen ycarK, 
having been with Frank 0. Bostock, Francis 
Ferarl, Dan B, Robinson and others. Will- 
Jam W. writes from Dnlon Springs. Ala., 
under recent date, that he will put out his 
own organisation, to be known aa Man i Bros. 
All American Shows, and will open ttr sea 
■on May 2 In Dayton, 0. It will be a tour- 
car carnival, consisting of six shown, a *W- 
ker three-abreast Jumping horse canry-u>( a 
big BUI Ferris wheel, ten piece Italian bau6 , 
and twenty concessions, and will play Ohio. 
Indiana, Pennsylvania and Illinois. William 
W. has closed with Todd * Sons, and Is now 
In Dayton, getting ready for the opening of 
the season. May success crown his efforts. 
He deserves it „_ „ . _ _ 

Bavinos op a Talked. — "Ladles ana uen- 
tlemcn : I do not want to take up your time 
with a long and lengthy talk regarding the 
merits of this attraction." That gtiy talked 
for forty-five minutes and then dldn t say 

""ciurlkb McDonald.— When does tbo Mo- 
sell Famous Carnival open, and where?

Special Correspondent. 



Appreciating tbe Intents Interest which Is being 
evinced .generally throughout tho show world In 
Oie developments of '"Tbe World st Boom," 1 
approached B. 0. Tslbott, tbe general representa- 
tive, st the borne office In the North American 
Building, Chicago. 

For a number of years Mr. Tslbott bat been 
Identified is general agent with some of Amer- 
ica's leading carnival enterprises, and he bos 
made a record for himself which Is most en-ru- 
ble. Incidentally he has been Instrumental In 
accumulttlDsT fortunes for bis principals. 

In response to my request for sa tuthorttitlve 
announcement covering "The World st Bone," 
Mr. Tslbott said: "While It It not the policy of 
onr orginlsatkm to spread Itself In flamboyant 
annooncenients through the columns Of tbe tmisf- 
meat press, I tn frank to say that, perhaps. 
never in tbe history of tbe amusement business 
hare measures been Instltated la the way of build- 
ing of equipment and the aesemblsge of extra- 
ordinary attractions such ss we now have under 
way. 

"This la sn age of progress ; we mast advsnes, 
snd to keep abreast of the times the projectors 
of The World at Home' have evolved a num- 
ber of novel featoers for the season of 1014, 
which It to be inaugurated st Racine, Wis., Msy

that those who witness It will be afforded a de- 
gree of realism never before approached with any 
amusement enterprise. Various model exhibitions 
of the Panama Canal have been made, but at 
last t company composed of canal employceH, 
Including among Its member* some of the best 
designing engineers of tbls mammoth project, con- 
ceived the Idea of preparing an exhibition which

Had "The Two Virtues" been produced by 
»n unimportant management as tho work of 
an unknown author. I am afraid It would not 
Lave got each favorable notices us were 
forthcoming from some, but not from all 
quarters. Alfred Sutro's play, *0De by Sir 
George Alexander at the St. James Theatre, 
on Thursday last, is one of those exercises 
in whimsical humor and philosophy la which 
successful dramatists ftel at liberty to en- 
gage. Chastity and Charity are the two 
virtues. Goeffrcy Panton. offspring of a 
wealthy tradesman, bad more money than he 
new what to do with. He fell In love with 
a pretty fool, who Jilted him for a prepos- 
terous poet. So he devoted himself to senti- 
mental regret, and the compilations of a tre- 
mendous history. His hair grew white. He 
affected velveteen coats, and, history apart, 
a kittenish irresponsibility and humor. Then 
the lady who had glltea him returned and 
begged him to rescue her husband, the poet, 
from the clutches of a naughty but very 
charming lady, known as Mrs. Guildford. In 
response to Godfrey's most uncomfortable 
exhortation Mrs. Guildford declared that she 
bad no use tor the poet. He bored he>-. She 
frankly admitted that she had had a troubled 
past And now she wished for peace, to de- 
vote herself to the study of — history ! Here 
was common ground with her Involuntary 
visitor. He was at home at once, vowed thai 
he bad discovered the longsougbt helpmate, 
and in spite of opposition of the most un- 
scrupulous kind from his society sister, he 
carried the day. Sir George Alexander and 
Martha Hedman play the Important parts 
quite well. 

From Mrs. B. G. Knowles, who was Wini- 
fred Johnson, comes a charming letter under 
date Buenos Aires. Feb. 17. She says : "You 
will be glad to hear that Dick is now making 
rapid progress toward recovery. He had a 
very bad time during the hottett portion of 
the voyage, the doctor being in constant at- 
tendance. He could eat nothing, and we 
were at our wits' end. Belief came from an 
unexpected quarter In the shape of a tin of 
baby food which was spared from the store 
of a gentleman aged two! Also there was a 
gentleman on board wbo had some prize hens 
■which be was bringing out here, and he was 
kind enough to give Dick the eggs. Fancy, 
fresh laid eggs of such a pedigree in the 
South Atlantic 1 We sail for London again, 
on Feb. 27. on the Highland Scott" 

"See London" Is the name of the new re- 
vue at the Coliseum, due on Monday next. 

It is now said that Pa'il Rubens, the com- 
poser, is to become director of the Empire. 

iBieonora Duse says she wants to establish 
"a home centre, where ideal conditions of 
life may prepare the future interpreters of 
a drama, or poem, for their work." 

Edward Lanrillard, the moving plctnre 
man, has the English rights of "Potash 4 
1'erlmutter," which he will do at the Queen's 
Theatre In succession to "The Melting Pot." 

Rumor places Nljlnsky's Palace salary at 
$5,000 a week. 

Phillip Michael Faraday says he persist- 
ently employs foreign composers because 
there is no English composer worth his con- 
sideration. This seems to be a particularly 
stupid statement on top of his two con- 
tinental failures. 

Seymour Hicks is writing another book — 
his experiences of the music hall stage this 
time. 

To-morrow night "Never Say Die" registers 
Its two hundredth performance at the Apol o. 
But now the end fe uear. Charles Hawtrey 
will next produce "Things We'd Like to 
Know" (the tlUe of a scan Jul column In a 
newspaper), by Monckton Hoffe. 

"Peggy and Her Husband" will be played 
for the last time at the Royalty on Thurs- 
day. It Is a rank failure. Vcdrenne and 
Eadle will revive "The Odd Man Out," by 
Harold Bughouse. 

Gertrude Kingston will take possession of 
her Little Theatre for an afternoon season, 
et Easter, to run a children's play, called 
"Brer Babbit," by Mrs. Percy Dreamer. 
Kenetm Fobs still runs the evening program, 
cf course. 

A second edition of "Hello Tango" is in 
active preparation at the London Hippo- 
drome. Frederic Smlthson has crossed tho 
Atlantic at the Invitation of the directors to 
prepare it. Meanwhile Shirley Kellogg Is 111, 
and has been temporarily replaced by Teddy 
Gcrrard. It Is understood that Miss Kcllogtr. 
who Is Mrs. De Courville, may be away some 
time — nothing serious ! A company has been 
organized to take "Hello! Tango!" on the 
road. It will Include Laura Gucrlte and 
Sam Hearn. 

Albert De CourvUle, of the Hippodrome, 
says the day has passed when English pro- 
ducers need go to New York or Paris for 
Ideas. The boot, he added, Is on the other 
leg. 

■Sir Herbert Tree thinks of Eastertide for 
the production of "Pygmalion" at His Ma- 
jesty's Theatre. 

George R. Sim's melodrama, "The Over 
Open Door,'' is to be revived Immediately at 
the Aldwych, where "The Queen's Cham- 
pion" has proved a failure. 

Richard Winslow has been restored to bis 



position as stage manager of tho London 
Hippodrome. 

Mrs. Laugtry hopes to s linear shortly at a West 
End theatre. In a ploy adapted for her by Sydney 
Orundy. from W. B. Maxwell's rovel. "Mrs. 
Thompson." Mrs. Thompson Is a clever business 
voonson, wbo Is nemiy brought to vnln by a tem- 
porary Infatuation for a clerk la her store. Mr. 
Maxwell Is a son of the famous novelist Mary 
Elizabeth Br addon. In the meantime, Mrs. Long- 
try Is appearing on the stoll tour, In a sketch

benelH of Charing dross Hospital, much used by 
actors and actresses. But thereafter she Is to 
undertake a short American tour. Anil then, per- 
haps, she will farewell us soote more. 

G. K. Obeatertoa'a fantastic play, "Magic," 
was done for the one hundred and fif tletli time 
at the Little Theatre last night. Afterwards 
Kenelm Foes proposes to revive Shakespeare's 
neglected "Love's Labor Lost." with as old Eng- 
lish garden for the background of Its single scene. 

After two hundred and sixteen performances (a 
record) the Drury Lane pantomime was with-

146 W. 45th St., N. Y, 



HEW YORK CITY, 

JEFFERSON. 

(BUILD OBOTCH, itoit.) 

Emile Qrotcb, former manager of Mobs fi 
Brill's Eighty-sixth Street Theatre, has suc- 
ceeded deported Harry M. Livingston ar, 
commander-In-chie; of their theatre on Bos!. 
Fonrteentli Street, beginning his duties here 
Monday. March 10. 

Calllouette, batvi Juggler and slack wire 
Talker, opened tbo bill appearing here first 
half of last vreck, and the neighborhood 
was well represented Indoors by 8.30 P. if. 
After opening his act with the twirling of a 
baton, in neat white Military suit, Calllou- 
ette discards his roat and hat nnd docs the 
remainder of his turn oa the wire, juggling 
two and three Indian clubs, riding a unl- 
cycle, walking within a hoop, and finishing 
with an apparatus attached tc a hoop an<. 
decorated with spinning batons, while also 
balancing one on bis chin and spinning one 
in each hand. A usual act of its kind, but 
with a touch of additional "pep." 

Gladys Lyons, a neat single singing turn, 
followed to a good reception. ('See Ktt Acts.) 

Al. Bailey and one of the Terra Sisters, 
billed as Bailey and Tier, offered a reper- 
toire of songs, comedy, and finished strong 
with their musical bit on cornet and trom- 
bone. It's fall of speed, and they make one 
•f the most entertaining colored teams on 
the small time. 

Lefflngwell and company, nun and woman, 
present a "dream" sketch, whereby a scented 
pillow puts the husband to sleep, and what 
he dreams, "that be joins the Order of Royal 
Mongolians," bolls out a riot of slap-stick 
laughs In the action of the dream, and 
climaxes with his being awakened by the 
wife. They get it oyer with hard work, and 
it was a pleasure to the Bast Fourteenthora. 

The Australian Duo, man and woman, 
opening In Western riggings, before their 
own log-cabin drop, present a novel skit 
that allows the man a cowboy song, a few 
English Impersonations by the woman, and 
a special announced original song and dance 
of the Maori trtbe of Indians, of New Zea- 
land, by both as a finale. They are good 
entertainers. 

Nan and Babe Evans, still using Babe's 
batting Into the suffragette spiel of Nan's, 
from the orchestra, to begin the act. caused 
the usual surprise (oven the inquisitive sort 
here), for the folks were on their feet "for 
something" as soon as Babe eased over 
her first retort. Nan's comic bridal number 
for "The Girl Who Stole My Loving Man 
Away," is fair: while Babe's "I Miss You 
Most of All" and both singing "Bogle Man 
Rag" for a close, and "Chattanooga" as an 
encore were well rendered. They harmonize 
nicely most of the time, and look well. 

That the folks down Fourteenth Street 
way do not admire heavy looking sketches 
was the verdict when "The Pardon" was 

Strung upon the Illuminated calendar card 
gn. Immediately there began double and 
party conversations all over the orchestra. 
But when the act got well on to the meat of 
It they changed their minds, ceased the chat- 
ter and gave it a final good bearing mil a 
loudly applauded finish, probably because 
they favored the Governor's act in handing 
over a pardon to the mother of a man who 
bad murdered a "chesty" ward heeler's son 
In Belt defense. It was really well presented 
at this particular show. 

Bennett and Darling, man doing "tipsy" 
German character, and the woman In flashy 
eld rose gown, and masked most of the act, 
presented a tale of how a husband gives his 
spouse the slip, attends a masquerade ball, 
flirts with "a pippin," and anally finds out 
that said "pippin?' was bis wife, scouting 
his doings. Their repertoire of comedy busi- 
ness is varied, but Bennett and Darling should 
revise its entirety, for as It is the turn is 
talkatively tiresome. 

Toots Paka and her four Hawaalan mu- 
sicians and singers were naturally tbo fa- 
vored hit of the bill, because Toots' "Rully 
Bully" dance just suited the surroundings. 
Toots repeated It a bit stronger, and, with 
the "business" adapted by the Hawaiian who 
so nobly plays that guitar, the imaginations 
of Manager Crotch's patrons were vivid. 

Adams and iSchaffer, German and ne- 
trew comedians, singers and talkers, shot 
•long to many laughs, and the clever triple 
bar performing -Holman Brothers held It nil 
np In the closing spot. Fairly good show. 

Jilt of bill : Holman Bros., Gladys Lyons 
•nd Bailey and Tier. Tod. 

LOEWS SEVENTH AVENUE. 

("JiKS" LUBIN, MOB.) 

The bill for March 10-18 was a variety 
one in every sense of the word, nnd Mana- 
ger Jake and his assistant Joe Vogei were, as 
usual, on hand to receive the crowd that 
flocked In. 

Gordon and Murphy, a two man turn, 
opened the hill with a little dancing, some 
back flips and talk. Tbe boys should get 
away from "stalling" away time. Tho 
straight could also Improve his appearance. 

Klass and Bernle. two men playing accor- 
dion and violin, scored one of the bits of 
the bill, and by the way the audience took 
them they could be playing yet. 

Harlan Knight and company. In Una Clay- 
ton's pleasing sketch. "The Chalk Line," did 
some very good acting, and got all the com- 
edy and pathos out of the act that is called 
for. 

Fay and Minn, dn a singing, talking and 
danelug turn, just got by. 

To say that Italpli Edwards mopped up is 
mild criticism. He Is one of those straight 
single singing turns that the audience warm' 
to immediately, and Ralph has a way all 
Ms own of putting numbers over. The way 
he turns from ballads to rags and character 
numbers is worthy of special mention, and 
his singing of Jibnpiro-Bemsteln's "Off With 
the Old Love on With the New" was "a 
capture." .._ 

Mile. Basse's dogs Is an "A No. 1" dog 

*ct The Httlo "purn" doing tho Tnnguay, 

also the balancing or another on all fours 

on a wine glass, certainly are sure-fire 

•tnnts." The act went Wg.

Century Opera Hon.e. — Tirfiand 
("Marta of the Lowland"), an opera In three 
acts by Lugen d'Albert, was glvea Its first 

S reduction in English Tuesday evening, 
larch 17, with this cast: 

■Scbastlano Louis Kreldler 

Tommasa Alfred Kaufman 

Morucclo Lonls D'Angelo 

Marta Lois Ewell 

Pepa Florence Coughlnn 

Antonla Louise Haussmann 

Rosalia Cordelia Latham 

Nurl Beatrice La Palme 

Fedro Gustaf Bergman 

Nando , Vernon IMIhart 

Priest Frank Mansfield 

Staged by Luioi Aliikhticri. 
Conductor — Ai.fbed Szundbei. 
Synopsis or Scenes. 
Act I — A Rocky Fastness In the Pyrenees. 
Act II — The Interior of the Mill. 
Act III — Same as Act II — At Dawn. 

Place — The Pyrenees and the Valley of 
Catalonia. 

Considered as grand opera, "Tiefland'' Is 
neither exceedingly grand nor excessively 
operatic. The music is for tbe better part 
rather heavy, and owing to tbe fact of there 
being few solos or ensembles incorporated In 
the score, becomes tedious In its monotony 
and lack of variation toward the finish. 

The operatic version of "Marta of the 
Lowland" is simply long drawn out melo- 
drama of the conventional kind, with such 
time-worn expressions as "Stand back,'' 
"Die. Villains "Curse you," etc., set to a 
doleful musical accompaniment 

The above lines are actual utterances of 
the characters, spoken, or rather sung In 
tbe last aot. The locale Is in Spain, but 
with the exception of the costuming and 
scenery very little of the atmosphere V the 
Valley of -Catalonia is suggested. 

The music Itself does not convey the 
thought* or color of the people either around 
whose lives the story revolves. It contains 
but one or two essentially Spanish passages. 

Then again It Is exceedingly difficult to 
reconcile Gustaf Bergman's marked Teutonic 
accent and method with the character of 
Pedro, the 'Spanish mountain shepherd. Mr. 
Bergman has a fine voice, however, and used 
it effectively throughout the evening. 

Lois Ewell, in the role of Marta, had few 
opportunities in a musical way. Hera was 
more a task calling for the services of n 
competent emotional actress. A duet in the 
last act with Bergman was finely sung by 
both. 

Louis Kreldlcr, as the "deep-dyed villain," 
Sebastiauo, was conventionally 'Wicked. His 
excellent baritone was strongly in evidence. 

Alfred Kaufman, as Tomasso, sang well 
and played bis numerous scenes -with dignity. 

Louis D'Angelo, us Morucclo, and Vernon 
Dalbart, as Nando, were two minor roles 
competently played and sung. Both men 
were in good voice and a delight to the eye 
and ear, as -they can both sing and act, 
apparently rare twin accomplishments. 

Beatrice La Palme, as Nurl, was mis-cast. 
An accent, method and costume in total 
variance with the role were handicaps diffi- 
cult to overcome. 

The production was well taken care of, 
as is usually the case with this well directed 
co"npany. The scenic Investment Is band- 
some and the light effects of the first act are 
worthy of special mention. ..... 

Tbe first act is all dialogue, indulged in 
bv the principals, tbo chorus not appearing 
until well toward the middle of the second 

The orchestra, under the able direction of 
Alfred Szendrel, acquitted Itself nobly. 

"Marta," with its gripping story, permit- 
ting tense situations, grandiose toIos, duets, 
etc., should have made a first ri>te structure 
on which to build a grand opera. Ben. 

PROCTOR'S 125th STREET. 1 

(WM. A. MATTHEWS, MOB.) 

Manager Billy Matthews just couldn't 
stay away from tbo wee little oulce It this 
house longer than a fortnight, and although 
he apparently felt much "convalesced, you 
could spell "needed more rest" all over Ills 
striving to "beam" countenance upon drop- 
ping Into this house Tuesday evening, 
March 17. Although Harry Leonhardt, "the 
dean," did a revise of the managerial trick 
during "Little Napoleon's" absence, we must 
slip a passiug good word in for the new and 
'andsomo superintendent of the house, 
•■Hustling" Joe Brown. . 

Lillian Mascotte, a young Jewish singer 
and musician, managed to open tbe bill slow- 
lv 4 New Acts ) 

After Klein and Klifton presented their 
novelty "dummy" skit (new acts), "Trap- 
ping Santa Claus," with a rather large be- 
liever in Santa Claus" boy featured, pleased 
as well as It has of late, with the plot 
climaxing with the return of a father to his 
wife and child after escaping from prison, 
where bo was doing another guy's time. He 
was tracked by a "fly" one, but the trap 
came into use by grabbing one of the latter a 
lower extremities during a dark Btage rough 
house, and father made a getaway while the 
kid held counsel with tbe unusual "Santa 
at the point of a revolver. 

Ben Smith, the black face comic, who 
grabs off change most every Winter as the 
partner of "E-Yah" Hughey Jennings, fol- 
lowed. Hen didn't forget that soothing 
tenor voice of his, either. Ben sang a 
piece of "Twenty Years Ago" to help cele- 
brate "the chasing of the snakes birthday," 
off stage, and after spreading his ever 
ready smile, enraptured 'cm some more 
with "Mandnlay." '•Off With the Old Love, 
On With the New," chattered a crlbful of 
new and some of bis old ones, and closed 
with "You Broke My Heart to Pass tho Time 
Away." Gee, Ben ain't not no Caruse, but 
all the same, Ben Is some popular tenor, 
whose voice- jigs as much personality as Hen 
has. Enuf Tor Ben. »tPoor Hughe.*. Jen- 
nings.) * 

Weslyn and Nichols convinced us that the 
Proctor circuit Is gathering In better acts 
these days. See New Acts for them, and 
also Fried and Weston, Hudd and Annie 
Lansing, nnd Porto Rico Girls. 

Hit ot tho bill— JJen Bmitb. 



Besides having tho front of the house ap- 

Broprlutely decorated for tho St. Patrick s 
ay celebration, Manager Matthews hail tbe 
parade pass his theatre on the outside, and 
a corking Domino two reel war picture, 
"The Wearing of the Green," on the inside. 
He's the little "John on de spot" for har- 
monizing his shows with the time of day. 
It was one of the good shows this house has 
had of late. To* 

UNION SQUARE. 

(FRANK ABBOTT MOB.) 

Back to "split" week vaudeville nnd pic- 
tures went this house Monday, March 16, 
nnd when wo caught tho show night of 
March 10, the house was nearly half full 
when Davis and Matthews, a man nnd 
woman, opened with a society dancing spe- 
cialty. A very neat dancing turn, and worth- 
ily wcU received. 

The Great ltlcbarcte, strong man turn, 
pleased. Mr. Richards does some daring 
stunts with heavy weights. 

Grundy and Lazzo (colored), man and 
woman, do not offer much of anything. A 
little more dancing nnd less stalling would 
lie an nil around benefit. The lady should 
appropriate a longer dress, and a few buttons 
on the vest of her partner. 

Harry Glbbs and company struggled by 
with a sketch. 

Elliott, Luckle and Young, ft three man 
cabaret turn, pleased greatly. They opened 
with "Dancing Around." followed with "I 
Miss You Most of All," by George Elliott, 
"the little tenor," and then Moe Luckio and 
Harry Young succeeded with "I Don't Want 
to Be a Soldier Man." Tho trio's suffragette 
number Is a big laugher, and for a close they 
ase "Twentieth Century Rng." The boys 
should have a prosperous time of It 

Nichols and tho Croix Sisters got a few 
laughs, due to the man's fair comedy ability.

SYNOPSIS OP SCENES. 

PROLOGUE — Palace of the Prince of Barnes 

In Athens. 
ACTI — Mountain Home of "Firebrands of 

Hellas." 
ACT II— On Board the U. S. B Oklahoma. 

In the story of "Maids of Athens," Capt. 
Wni. Peon Harris, U. S. N. Is In love with 
Princess Photlni, sister of the Prince of 
Paracs, who also loves him. Of course, the 
Prince discountenances the American's suit. 
Capt. Harris also wagers a small fortune 
■with the Prince that he. Harris, will capture 
a notorious brigand, who has spread terror 
throughout the region of Greece In which 
the scenes are laid. Two comedy detectives, 
Van and Dyke Green (from Scotland Yard), 
are also on the track of tbe brigand. At 
the close of tbe prologue we learn that the 
Prince of Parnes is really the brigand, and 
that his sister Is really no princess. 

In aot two we are sbown the brigand's 
home in the fastnesses of the mountains. 
Several tourists and the two comedy de- 
tectives are made prisoners, but are soon 
permitted to depart. Capt. Harris, in com- 
pany with Princess Photlni. are also cap- 
tured and released. 

In act three, on board the U. 8. 8. Okla- 
homa, we see where Capt. Harris has won 
bis wnger, and everything ends happily In 
true comic opera ftyle. 

Lehar has written many pretty numbers, 
hut the gem Is a waltz song, written in true 
l.ebar style, and entitled "When the Heart 
Is Young." This song was rendered by 
Leila Hughes, who was forced to repeat tbe 
refrain of it six times before the audience 
was satisfied. 

The theme of tho book is capital, but It 
is poorly carried out by the librettist, and 
tbe book Is the weakest of any that we have 
seen la connection with Lehar music. 
Whether this is the fault of the writer or 
adapter Is a question, but the fact remains. 

The staging, under the master hand of 
George Marlon, brings tbe chorus numbers 
Into the limelight. 

Of the principals, Albert Pellaton and 
Leila Hughes were conspicuous for their ex- 
cellent work, both as to acting and singing. 
Elbert FretweH also snng well. 

The second week began March 23. 



PROCTOR'S TW1OTY-THIRD ST. 

(VBANK UCCUNB, MOIt.) 
St. Patrick's Day was appropriately cele- 
brated In the decorations of the exterior of 
this house, and Manager McCune even went 
so far as to background all his pbotos out- 
side in green, ana the sidewalk In front of 
tbe ticket window was covered with a sod 
taken from Colleen Bawn Rock, la the Lakes 
of Klllarney. That the soil was genuine 
wub proven by a display of letters to the 
effect that the Kalcm Motion Picture Com- 



pany bad bought a ton of it when a company 
of its players were touring "tbe old coun- 
try." The garden arrangement of the sod 



and grass mats set off the front of the the- 
atre In an attractive manner, while the fea- 
ture photoplay Indoors was Dion Boucl- 
cault's Irish comedy, "The Colleen Bawn," 
acted In Ireland by inhabitants of the terri- 
tory wherein the scenes were laid. 

The incoming change of bill on Thurs- 
day, March HI, was opened with a team 
billed as Canarls and Cleo (foreigners) stout 

5<entleman and lady assistant The man of- 
ers a bnlf dozen or more clever sleight of 
hand stunts, his most puzzling being tho 
taking of a lemon from an orange, an egg 
from tbe lemon, and a canary bird from the 
egg. Tho work 1b good, but the magician 
uses too much chatter. 

Wells and Fisher, a mixed singing and 
dancing duo, were No. 2. (Bee Now Acts.) 

"Desperate Desmond," with George Topak 
and company, was billed up strong, lho 
"dnUy" utjentrotation of the troubles of 
Claude and Rosamond to foil "Desperate 
Desmond" are acted In as "buriesqnlsh" a 
manner by the Topock company as they ap- 
pear In print Just to laugh and a big one 
with the rescue of Rosamond from "death" 
under a miniature train by Claude as a 
finale. Its good for life on the small cir- 
cuit, 

Hereucl Headier tho now well-known pian- 
ist, stepped Into Ben Smith's place on the 
bill, because of the letter's sudden lllneasi 
Mr. Hendler did as well as he has In the 
higher priced houses. 

Fried and Weston's songs, dances and 
patter brought them bettor results then up 
In Harlem. The boys work bard enough 
with what manorial Is at hand. 

The Frank Troupe Is how a well known 
hoop rolling act was billed here. Four men, 
a boy, and a pretty young woman were led 
by Frank In a scries of rolls and tossing* of 
the hoops, and a flnnl big finish with Frank, 
atop of a table, spearing. In diving fashion, 
hoops tossed by three of his partners In 
rapid succession. There's not a better hoop 
act In the business la "getting" them right. 

Pathe's animated pictures of "Col. Hteia 
Liar Shipwrecked," and a Keystone comedy. 
"His Favorite Pastime," were features on 
tho screen, and both were corkers for arous- 
ing laughs. 

BUI first half of current week includes: 
Clifford, Hippie and company, Hayes and 
Alpolnt. Martlnettl and Dennett, Dorothy 
Kenton, Dixon Peters, and Rutblna Belmar 
and company. For the last half: "The Girl 
iP„ Hie Moon," Emma Stephens, Auatrallar. 
Whip Crackers, Homer B. Archer and com- 

Kany, Montey and Dot, and Thomas and 
eparo, Toi. 



"A PAIR OF SHES." 

LonKicrc ;1I. H, Fraace, mgr.) — A Pair 
of Sixes, a farce In three acts, by Edward 
Pepie. produced on Friday night, March 20, 
by II. II. Frazcc, with this cast : 

George B. Nettleton Geo. Parsons 

T. Boggs John Hale Hamilton 

Kromc Robert Smiley 

Miss Sally Parker Corree Clark 

Thomas J. Vanderholt Frltx Williams

Mr. Applegate Walter Allen 

Offico Boy John Mcrrltt 

(shipping Clerk Frank Gerbrach 

Mrs. George B. Nettleton Ivy Troutmau 

Miss Florence Cole Ann Murdoch 

Coddles. Maudo Eburne 

SYNOPSI3: Act I— Oulee of the Eureka 
Digestive PHI Co., In New York City. Act 
II — Home of Mr. Nettleton. Two weeks 
later. Act III— Bame as Act II. One week 
later. 

Staged under the direction of Edgar Mac- 
Gregor. 

Edward Pepie has proved that he Is one 
of the most versatile of our playwrights. In 
"Tne Prince Chap" he gave ns one of the 
most charming of sentimental plays, and 
his military drama. "The Littlest Rebel," 
proved a successful road attraction. He 
now tries his hand on a farce, and again 
success has smiled upon bun, or, to be more 
truthful, laughed at him, for his farce, "A 
Tair of Sixes," is one of tbe most laughable 
plays seen on the New York stage in many 
a long day. The fun begins early In the first 
act, and gets faster and faster as tbe play 
unfolds itself. The plot is novel and clean. 

Its success on the opening night was im- 
mediate and emphatic, and it was hard to 
believe that Mr. l'cple had so much trouble 
In having It produced. It was returned 
again and again to tbe author as "unsuit- 
able." And, now that it Is produced and is 
one of the sure-fire hits of the season, one 
can readily see how uncertain tbe theatrical 
business is, and the longer that you are In 
it the less you know. 

The plot la simple. George B. Nettleton 
and T. Boggs John are partners In the 
fnreka Digestive Pill Company. They do 
not get along with each other and neither 
will sell out Ms interest, as the concern is 
making a fortune each year. Their lawyer 
proposes that the cards should solve the 
problem. The winner should have absolute 
control of the business for one year, and 
the loser must act as the winner's butler for 
that period. 

A contract Is drawn up which compels 
secrecy under pain of a heavy fine. Mr. 
John loses, and the second end third acts 
show him as a butler in his partner's home. 
Tho home Is visited by John's sweetheart, 
Florence Cole, who naturally cannot under- 
stand why her lover, a rich man, Is working 
as a servant in his partner's home. By the 
terms of the contract John is forbidden to 
tell ber. But she gets the story out of the 
lawyer and ends proceedings by Informing 
.Nettleton that the contract Is not legal, as 
it was founded on a poker game. 

As can uc seen, tbe cast Includes the names 
of players well known to patrons of the 
Broadway theatres, but the acting honors 
were captured with ease fey Maude Bourne, 
who was "discovered" In a Rochester, N. Y., 
stock company, by Edgar MacGrcgor. Miss 
Eburne had the role of Coddles, an elderly 
mnld-af-all-work In Nettleion'B home, who 
Was In love with John. Her performance 
Is one of the comedy hits of tbe year. 
In make-up she suggested a drawing of 
the lata English caricaturist, Phil May. She 
has a "fall" in the last act thnt Is exceeding- 
ly funny. In short, Miss Eburne's hit is now 
the talk of the town. 

Hale Hamilton, fresh from his London 
triumphs, scored heavily as John. The role 
is well suited to his particular style of act- 
ing. 

George Parsons, who appears through the 
courtesy of Cohan tc Harris, has an excellent 
role as Nettleton. and gives a splendid per- 
formance. Mr. Parsons, who has long ago 
won bis spurs as a light comedian, is called 
upon in this part to do dramatic work to a 
great extent, and acquits himself with credit. 

Ann Murdock, who resembles la face and 
mannerisms Blllle Burke, contributed some 
excellent work as Florence Cole. It is the 
most ambitious role this young actress has 
played, and she scored a personal success. 
She Is the daughter of John J. Coleman, the 
theatrical manager. 

Fritz Williams, as the lawyer, played with 
ease and polish. He was given a warm wel- 
come, for it has been a long time since this 
excellent actor has been Been In New York. 

Ivy Trontman was more than equal to tbe 
demands that tbe role of Mrs Nettleton 
made upon ber. Her gown In the last act 
was a gorgeous affair. 

The other players only appear In the first 
act. and, of course, have very little to do. 
Caree Clark made a hit as the stenographer, 
and John Merrltt, who la Mr. Frazee's office 
boy in real life, made his debut In that char- 
acter on tho stage and scored a good sized 
hit. 

"A Pair of Sixes" Is the best theatrical 
hand Manager Frazee has held in several 
seasons. Kelcej/. 

COLONIAL. 

(HARBT a. bailey, mob.) 
Virginia Harned and company, presenting 
a tabloid version of Tolstoy's "Anna, Kare- 
Dinn," heeds the bill hero this week. Miss 
Horned has appeared at this houv In several 
skctohes of merit, but newer before in this 

SarUcnla vehicle. Of her work in the lead- 
ig role— a tensely dramatic one — It Is only 
necessary to state here that she repeated tbe 
sterling success achieved by ber at other 
theatres on this circuit 

Trlxle Frlganza, the popular comedienne, la 
given (so far as display type is rooccrned) 
the second important position In program 
Placing, and her 6on«s. Imitations, and her 
doeine burlesque of the tango dance, pleased 
the big audience immensely. Her act did 
sot differ materially from that given by her 
earlier in the season at this house. 

A royal welcome greeted Kate Elinore and 
Sam Williams, In their screaming farcclet, 
"The Hunter nnd the Hunter-ess." Miss Ell- 
nore's broad humor Is seen to excellent ad- 
vantage In their present vehicle, and Mr. 
Williams proves to bo a very capable foil to 
tbe eccentric acting of his charming part- 
ner. 

Gus Edwards' Kid Cabaret Is a novelty In 
dialogue, sontrs and dances float Is always sure 
of a cordial reception ne re. Tbe kiddles arc 
a precocious bunch of boys and girls, and 

* ,-, 




they do their several specialties with a finish 
and dash worthy of veteran performers., Mr. 
Edwards has staged tbe act In bis best man- 
ner, and there was no doubt of Its duplica- 
tion of a former successful visit here." 

Burns and Fulton were another pair to 
receive the glad hand of welcome at the 
Monday show, and in response to tbe ap- 
plause which followed all their songs and 
expert dances, they seemed to fairly outdo 
themselves, for at least twenty minutes of 
the liveliest stepping seen here this season. 

Clark and Verdi, in Italian cross-fire dia- 
logue, continue to have this field of en- 
deavor entirely to themselves. It Is a fine 
bit of characterization, and the wonder of 
it Is that its possibilities as a laughter pro- 
ducer bad not been discovered many years 
agone. 

Walter Van Brunt's excellent staging voice 
was beard to advantage In three number?, 
his last effort bringing bim back for several 
tows with the old time songs. He has a 
pleasing personality, and the audience ap- 
preclateed his unaffected manner In the pres- 
entation of his act 

The Three Arthurs, one male and two fe- 
male expert bicyclists, opened the show In 
one of tbe best exhuMtlons of single and 
carrying stunts seen here In many a season. 

Chas. Kasrac and company closed tbe bill 
lc an acrobatic comedy act. making their 
debut at the matinee. 23. (See New Acts,

PALACE. 

(ELMEH r. BOOBRS, HOB.) 

An audience that tested the seating ca- 
pacity of this large and fashionable vaude- 
ville house was on band on Monday night, 
for tbe show offered was one of the best 
seen here in some time, and this Is high 
praise, for some excellent programs have 
been offered on tbe Palace stage in the past 
few months. 

Klutlngs dogs, cats, pigeons and rabbits 
opened tbe show, and the clever and artistic 
act offered by these animals pleased not only 
tbe women In the audience, but also the men, 
ond when an animal act can win applause 
from ue sterner sex it Is some animal act 
The high Jumping of tbe cats was loudly 
applauded. 

Alt. Grant and Ethel Hong experienced a 
little difficulty in getting over at 11 ret. but 
received applause at tbe end of their act 
Mr. Grant is a good comedian but needs 
snappier stuff. Miss Hoag lends him good 
aid. She is a good dresser and is a very 
pretty woman. 

Of course they laugbed at Charlie Ahearn's 
comedy cycling act. The comedian and bis 
staff of comedy "bike" riders were big nits. 
There Is not another act like It on the stage, 
and if you cannot laugh at these fun-makers 
on tbe big and Uttle wheels you are indeed 
to be pitied. 

Harry Hines and George Fox started slow, 
but soon captured the undivided attention of 
tbe audience. Both axe good singers. Fox 
owns a rather pleasant tenor voice and 
plays the piano cleverly. Hines does a 
"cissy" song and bis "business" is free 
from vulgarity. Then, In order to show' 
that his natural singing voice is deep, be 
sings "The Devil's Rag. He ends with a 
burlesque dance on the tango craze, which 
won him many laughs- 
Dainty and pretty Mae Murray, assisted 
by Clifton Webb, are hold-overs, and their 
dancing specialty won much favor. Mlas 
Murray is tbe personification of grace and 
dances delightfully. Enough flowers to start 
a floral shop were given to Miss Murray by 
friends. 

Nellie V. Nichols favored the audience 
with several songs, well sung. Despite the 
fact that she followed intermission, she got 
over big. 

William Faversbam is tbe headllner this 
week and, of course, furnished the dra- 
matic portion of tbe bill. He offered "The 
Squaw Man." Mr. Faversham end his play- 
let were great successes at the Palace on 
Monday. His Jim Carson is a fine creation, 
and Mr. Faversham Is supported by a good 
company. 

Harry Fox and Yanosl Dolly proved to be 
great favorites. For further mention see 
New Acta column, 

Burdella Patterson's posing act "Beaux 
Arts," came on late, ana those that waited 
were amply repaid, for the aot is very ar- 
tistic. Kclccy.

HAMMERSTEIN'S. 

(VH. BAUMBBSZCIN, HOB.) 

Tne reigning craze of New York "tango 
and ball room dances," has sore enough 
reached the boose on the Corner. Fire acts 
out of the bwenty-one are introducing differ- 
ent steps <n the modern art of dancing. 
Three acta are held over from last week, be- 
sides two reels of pictures, billed as act num- 
bers on the program. Tbe bill, though 
lengthy, Is one of merit, and nearly every 
act scored before a large audience Monday 
matinee. 

The Great Rlngllng opened the show nt 
1.40 with a good routine of equilibrist lc and 
ring tricks. 

The pictures of Lieut. BeeVer's release 
from Sine Slug were on in second place. 

"The Girl in the Muff," a hold over act 
held down third position. 

Jimmy Flynn, one of Wattorson's song 
plugzers, scored a big hit singing "When 
the Angelus Is Ringing," and was compelled 
to respond with several extra choruses. 

Four shapely young women, billed as the 
Four Sylphs, gave a clever exhibition of 
aerial work while suspended by the teeth. 

Theo Llghtner and Dolly Jordan, a dainty 
sister act, were one of the big bits on tbe 
bill in a singing nnd piano act (8ee New 
Acts.) 

One of the best double Roman ring acts 
in the business is furnished by the Pedenen 
Bros, (straight and comedy). The comedian 
of the duo executes many tricks on the big 
rings that are remarkable The boys scored 
a tremendous success. 

Lelpslg mystified with a number of won- 
derful card tricks and manipulation*, and lu 
his line has no superior. 

Dorothy Russell, assisted by James Clancy, 
hnd a hard time retting over with her dan- 
cing offering, the Flirtation Walts, Tasgo 
ana Maxlxe. Arrayed In a green ankle- 
length dress, with the up-to-date headdress, 
a "green wig," Dorothy, who appeared very 
nervous, danced very amateurishly, aeepai- 
pnnled by four colored musicians, wno fur- 
nished the syncopation. 

Trlxle Frfranta, in songs and ImHesaue 

dances on the popular ballroom vintages or 

tbe day, scored the real lilt of the bill, and

audience would let her go.

Clark and Verdi, tbe popular Italian co-

throughout their act It is needless to say 
they cleaned up, as usual. 

Baldwin Sloane and Grace Fields, In ball- 
room dances, must be classed among tbe top-

BAMJM & BAILEY OPENING. 

GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH PRESENTS NEW SPECTACLE. 



In spite of tbe fact that some of our 
streets present the spectacle of piles of snow 
and ice. Spring, gentle Spring, is here. It 
arrived on Saturday, March 21, simulta- 
neously with tbe Barnum & Bailey Greatest 
Show on Berth, which, with brass bands and 
tbe fanfare of trumpets, opened on tbe after- 
noon of that date In Madison Square Gar- 
den, New York. And the ice and snow spec- 
tacle above alluded to, imposing though it 
may be. fades Into insignificance, before the 
one presented In the big garden. 

•The Wizard Prince of Arabia," wblcb pre- 
cedes this season's regular circus perform- 
ance of tbe 3. & B. Show, Is a wondrous, 
prodigious spectacle, which makes all other 
efforts in a similar line pale Into insignifi- 
cance. Similar, did I sayt That Is wrong. 
Nothing that has preceded "Tbe Wliard 
l'rlnce of Arabia'' was even similar to It, tor 
it Is too big, too massive, too great In scope, 
in color In oeauty, la harmony for compari- 
son with those which have gone before. Dur- 
ing its action the big stage occupying tbe 
Mat end of the Garden and the entire arena, 
are one mass of poetry of motion and har- 
monious color. Everywhere you look you 
see a picture which pleases the eye, and tbe 
whole appalls you with its magnitude. 

Tbe story, which, of coarse, is told In 
pantomime, tells of the love of Abdallab. an 
Arabian prince, for Abloo Ssaran, daughter 
of Babar, King of India. Tbe Prince an- 
nounces himself as suitor for the hand of 
the Princess. Tbe King tells him of tbe 
danger of his suit and points to the beads 
of forty princes who have Bought bis daugh- 
ter and suffered death. But the Prince Is 
undismayed. Babar calls upon his magi- 
cians, wbo perform many wonderful tricks 
of magic, but their efforts are as child's play 
beside blie marvelous feats performed by tbe 
wizards of tbe Prince, and. finding himself 
completely outdone, the King capitulates and 
gives consent to the marriage of Ahloo and 
Abdallab. together with his blessing. 

For tbe dances a long stage hi laid along 
almost the entire length of the arena, 
stretching over tbe three rings and two 
ttagos used for the circus performance, and 
on this, as well as on the main stage, up- 
wards of two hundred girls, dressed in 
beautiful colored dresses, give many figures 
and dances with a precision that tells of 
careful rehearsal. The remarkable part of 
this being that such good work could be 
accomplished In the limited time that the 
Garden has been accessible tor rehearsals. 

The spectacle was devised and developed 
by Alfred T. Blngllng, and proves him to be 
a master hand. The story Is well and con- 
sistently told, and holds the Interest. Its de- 
velopment Is logical In spite of Its being le- 
gendary, and to interesting alike to young and 



on the bars is equal to that of any male 
team. Their flying leaps over and under 
giant swings, ana concluding trick with 
doubles to the net, were heartily appreciated. 

The Welders, in flowered tights showed a 
balancing ladder, supported by the feet of 
tbe heavyweight, and upon which the two 
mounters performed most difficult tricks. A 
Itlsley act. full of now work, closed tbelr 
clever performance. 

Display 7. — On tbe hippodrome track 
three high school and menage acts were 
given. 

Display 8. — (.uplta Perea. wbo appeared 
last year with this show, again displayed 
her remarkable work in mid-air on the 
traps. This young woman is a marvel to 
her line, performing several tricks that have 
seldom before been attempted by a lady 
aeriallst. 

The Lolnorts, two women and a nan, gave 
a clever mid-air trapoxe act. for a thrilling 
climax of which the man walked, head dowu, 
on a mirror placed up among the iron girders 
of the garden roof. A sure-fire thriller. 

Tbe Revolving Kadcre. In their mld-ulr 
evolutions, while suspended with the teeth 
grip, were eagerly followed. Tbelr shapely 
forms were seen in graceful poses, Including 
a butterfly effect. They also had an inning 
with some silver bolls, playing sweet tunes. 

Display n was a statue horse display. In 
which four whiio horses, e*/ch on a separate 
platfcrm, were made to pose In various posi- 
tions. 

Display 10 introduced Fred Derrick, 
Orrln Davenport and Cbus. Slcgrist In lungs 
1, 2 and 3, respectively, each giving a bare- 
back riding exhibition par excellence. 

It Is a pleasure to watch the work of the 
Patricks, in tbelr wonderful performance of 
feats of strength and high perch balancing. 
Tbe }0ung woman is the unrjerstnndcr and, 
docs her work in an artistic manner. Tbe 
clever Welse Troupe, of three men and a 
shapely young woman do some capable work 
with a double perch. Two of the men per- 
form stunts on top of tbe perch while a third 
balances them on bis shoulders. It was a 
remarkable bit of work, end the largo au- 
dience rewarded them with plenty of ap- 
plause. 

Talsel Bros., two Japanese, did a clever 
perch act that won frequent bursts of ap- 
plause. 

The Arleye, on tbe high perch, did any- 
thing that could possibly bo accomplished 
on a pole, topped by a platform. 

Tbe Sllvts, two swarthy athletes, also used 
the balancing pole to show their line of 
goods, and were watched with eager interest. 

Display 12 was correctly programmed 
"a rip-roaring roughhouse." and Introduced

personal direction of Mr. Singling by the 
following! Fred Bradna, general equestrian 
and stage director ; Burns O'SutUran, assist- 
ant equestrian and stage director, and B. H. 
Brill, musical director. The ballet was under 
the personal direction of Ottoker Bartlk, with 
Adolf Blome as assistant. The Oriental mu- 
sic was written by Pallia Effendl. 

The costumes of the principals and ballet, 
as well as the trappings and coverings of the 
elephants, camels and horses appearing in 
the spectacle, are unquestionably the hand- 
somest ever seen within tbe four walls of 
Madison Square Garden. 

After the spectacle the circus opened with 
an elephant number, Rings 1, 2 and 3, each 
being occupied by a herd of pachyderms 
which, under the respective direction of j. K. 
Clark, Harry J. Mooney and J. J. Doolcy, 
went through a remarkable variety of ele- 
phantine "stunts.'- 

Display 4. — The Pour Comrades, well 
known for their cicellcnt comedy acrobatic 
work, were still a big feature. They have 
been connected with this show for many sen 
eons, and are always sure of producing some 
real comic novelty. 

The Baker Troupe of cyclists were also 
seen In their splendid performance, perform- 
ing many difficult feats. 

Tbe Hart Brothers. Including two shorties, 
bad a line of comedy acrobatics rarely du- 
plicated. Tb^y worked In all sort of comedy 
effects from boll to bell. 

Vtttorlo and Oeorgettl. the "upside down" 
boys, did clog dance on their hands and 
boxed with their feet. 

Display fl.— Josenhson's Icelandic (illma 
Troupe, on Stage No. 1, wblcb, while no 
novelty to New Yorkers, ure none the lest 
welcome, went through their clever exhibi- 
tion. Mr. Joaepnson shows some remarkable 
nork In the art of self-defense, some of 
which la even more startling than the Jlu 
Jltsu. 

Display o. — The Joe Clark Troupe, con- 
sisting of three men and a woman and a 
boy, gave as fine an exhibition of acrobatic 
and equUlbrletlc work as bas ever been given 
in the Garden. 

Tbe GlUla Troupe, three handsomely 
formed young women and a male assistant, 
showed feats of strength that were a pleas- 
ure to see. The man Is a powerfully built 
fellow and handles tbe woman In difficult 
stunts with apparent ease. For a climax 
two of the women hang on to bis bead and 
be twirls them around in a dissy manner. 
Tbelr performance proved a- big feature. 

In the middle ring Olympta Desvat made 
bcr first appearance here, and with her pets, 
consisting of nine dogs a pony and a horse, 
attached to a chariot shaped vehicle, gave a 
unique exhibition. .'. yfji<t.f;- 

The Loretta Twins, on tbe triple bars, are 
shapely and pretty gymnasts, whose work 



other Wild West features, Including lasso 
throwing. 

This was followed by a comedy equestrian 
act by Mr. Bagougbl, wbo not only created 
laughter but also won apshtuse lor some 
very clever stunts in spite of the fact that a 
rope, suspended from a lofty rigging, was 
attached to him and that It was impossible 



formnnce. In Ring No. 1, and bold marked 
attention throughout his entire work. Hand 
balancing atop of a tablo and four choirs 
was his principal stunt, closing with a fall 
that showed him to be au artist In his line. 
In Ring 2 nird Mllrmau, aimlttied by a man 
and a woman, presented her remarkable wire 
act. and again demonstrated her right to the 
claim of being "queen of the wire. ' Among 
her other f barbs Miss Mlllman gave an ex- 
hibition of tbe tango on the wire, and her 
daring work brought forth storms of ap- 

S louse. Johnny Nestor sang while Mlsa 
lllltnan was doing her finish. 

D. Darling, on his unauptwrtod ladder, did 
his usual climbing, while taking good caro 
that It did not fall, and acted as unconcerned 
as if It was welt secured by guy lines. 

The Great Rougct gsivo a thrilling exhibi- 
tion of balancing himself on top of what ap- 
peared to be a Jumble of old chairs and 
tables with broken legs, but ho always man- 
ager to stay on top. 

Display lit.— /Die Davenports, the St. 
T<eoiis and Ella Bradna and Kred Derrick 
mado up bis purely equestrian display. 

In feats of equestrianism the Threo Daven- 
ports are In a class by themselves. Somer- 
saults jumps and many oilier features tnndo 
up tbelr repertoire of rilling that is worth 
a trip of many miles to see. 

In Ring 2, tbe St. Loons wbo are among 
tbe youngest of our equestrian experts, gavo 
a bareback performance noticeable tor Its 
grace, dexterity and attractiveness. While 
they performed no startling feats, their rou- 
tine was well selected. 

Llttlo comment Is necessary upon the work 
on horseback contributed by 1011a Bradna and 
Fred Derrick. They have evidently wasted 
no time and have practiced up some new 
ways of getting on and off their four legged 
movable platforms. Miss Itradna wus light 
xilng Itself, and Mr. Derricks' leaps to tbe 
horse's back were completed without a 
tremor, ho landing fair ami square at each 
attempt. 

Dlaplay 10. — Acrobatics made op tills 
display. 

The Three Jardlt, who made tbelr debut 
with the show last season, are again on the 
Job with their remarkable feats of acrobatic 
end equillbrlsttc feats. The work of all three 
members calls for much commont, the audi-

of quicksilver top-mounter was handled just 
as nonchalantly as over by his confreres,

tbe sassy little stamping of feet.

reached the height of their work in perform-

ANSWERS TOCORRESPONDENTS. 

DRAMATIC. 

A. S, C, Haverhill. — Wo do not know why 
your letters arc unanswered. 

C. L. It.. Olesn.— ■ We can not undertake to 
reply to questions concerning the reliability 
of anyone. 

M. V. C, Gnlc8. — Wo do not know of nny 
theatre In Grenter Now York owned by any- 
one of tho unities you mention. 

CARDS. 

W. 11. II.. Rochester. — A wins well within 
bis rights by refusing the card, as ho had 
not looked at It Ills bond was not foul. 

A. A. — When a player "splits" openers he 
Is obliged to make a declaration to that ef- 
fect and lay tho card aBldo where it will not 
be mixed with tho rest of tho discard, so ho 
can show It after the hand Is played. Fail- 
ure to do this causes him to lose any money 
he may have put In the pot, either In tho 
ante or In bets, and tho pot goes to tho hlgb- 
jfjj band who remained against him. 



CARNIVAL CONVERSATION 



By WnTJAM JUJJKJLNH HEWITT, 
("Bed Onion.") 



Tan present carnival season, viewed from 
the cupola of the "little red caboose be- 
hind," looks very Bplzzcr-inktum. 

Manaoers. — Kindly send your route In 
direct to Tim New York Clippbb, 47 W, 
Twenty-eighth Street, New York. Your at- 
tention to this will be appreciated. When 
you change your route pleaBe notify in time 
to make the necessary corrections. 

Harry Blitz, the original Haba Haba 
man of bally-hoo fame, who for the past 
several seasons has been with the Johnny 
J. Hejnno attractions, plans to open a Zulu 
Village at Coney Island, New York. Harry 
should make good with that kind of a show, 

iIaiiuy t. La iiiiAQiin has cloned with the 
Al. F. Gorman Greater Shows, and left Fort 
Worth, Tex., Thursday, March 12, for New 
Orleans, and Meridian Miss. At the latter 
i/acc he attended tho opening of the Greater 
Hhcosley Shows. 

Dr. Kbank 'Ellis and Floyd Elliot; 
(Cowboy) havo closed contracts with Her- 
bert A. Kline for the appearance of Don 
Fulano, the educated horse, with his car- 
nival aa a tented attraction for this season. 

Some men plan to put out carnivals that 
never materialize. Just so that they will 
Lave an opportunity of seeing their name 
In print. 

milt 8. Rodney, owner of the famous 
electrical tamdon team, was a very busy man 
during tho fort Worth, Tex.. Cattlemen's 
Convention. MUt S. says nothing but tho 
big dntes for him. 

Nat iiKiss has such a fine local standing 
In Houston, Tex., that It would not be at all 
surprising that the Johnny J. Jones Car- 
nival played the No-Tsu-Oh celebration la 
that city In November. Nut, tell us about It. 

t'HAiiLEH McDonald — What nre you going 
to do with that ten acre farm near St Lou in, 
slnco the famous Mozelle Carnival 1b not? 
No more shoveling snow or leading ponies 
for Leo CUrlcy. What will the poor boy do 
for a Job now 7 

W. II. Rice has got to be given credit for 
knowing lust whnt's going on In the car- 
nival business. W. If. Is the first genera! 
agent that wo know of to book a carnival 
under the auspices of the "Rotary Club" 
Tbla he did for tho Rice & Doro Water Car- 
nival In .Seattle. 

Therb Is one class of people that always 
come back — "waiters in Fort Worth caba- 
rets." Walters con take tips without be- 
coming offended. That's more than some 
carnival people can do. 

Will 0. Jones— The cue chalkers of Dal- 
las, Tex. (at least that's what some one told 
Red Onion) miss you. Will G., sbame on 
you for icnvlng without telling them good- 
bye. You are due In Tcxarkana, Tex.. March 
80. 

1M Warren left Corslcana, Tex., re- 
cently, dor Leavenworth, Kan. llert, as 
we havo been Informed, will manage a I'arker 
carry-us-all and a big Ell Ferris wheel with 
the Ed, Evans Greater Shows. 

Maiiul Wiiittakbr. the swimming and 
diving girl, says she thinks she will have to 
"splash around" this season, but she don't 
say with whom. When the warm days cotno 
the rail of the tank Is altogetber too strong 
for the professional swimmer and diver to 
resist. 

Manuel, the Hrazlllan artist, Is very busy 
recently pointing and decorating the fronts 
of tba Al. F. Gorman Greater Shows. 
Manuel was seen In Fort Worth during the 
cattlemen's convention, where tho Gorman 
Grenter played. 

General Auhnt.h — some of thorn — are 
guilty of a practice which Is not altogether 
right. Thai Is, showing photographs of 
outer companies' fronts and attractions and 
claiming them as tholr own, or representing 
companies that they claim to have them, 

Marcullus W. Mheks Is reported to be 
in the nows business In Now Orleans. 

Prank Kaufman Is now In India buying 
up animals to sell and trade, which he finds 
to bo a profitable business. Frank, write us 
a story about what's doing In that part of 
the world. He was formerly owner and 
manager of the California Carnival. 

Utta Louise Blake and Jambs U. Had.- 
\t.y left Dallas, Tex., recently, on a vaude- 
ville tour, which will eventually take them 
to Kansas City, at which place they are 
about due now. Geo, wonder if we will ever 
(Ind out with what carnival they will go? 

Harrt Sanueu Is still general agent for 
tho J. George Loos Exposition Company, and 



mnklng good. -Harry was lu Texarkana "re- 
cently. 

Therb Is certainly a great difference In 
motordromes. Some are large, some are 
small, some ure painted and some are not, 
some aro well built and somo are not, some 
of them ore well managed and some of them 
ten themselves. So, dear readers, when you 
hear the name of "motordrome" mentioned 
don't think that they are all alike. 

Leon W. Washdurn Is getting a groat 
carnival together, If anybody happens to 
ask you. Somo staff, too. 

Walter F. Stanley. — Harry Knowlos 
manager of the Terminal Hotel, Fort Worth, 
sends Ills kindest regards to you and your 
family. Walter F. is now numbered among 
those present In Texerkauu, who are waiting 
the opening of the Con T. Kennedy Shows, 
which takes place la that city, Monday, 
March 80. v, j, 

Jakd Davib. — A party In Fort Worth told 
Red Onion about the trouble you had about 
locating your silk shirts. That party was 
Harry Knowlcs. Ho sends his host regards 
to Don C. Stevenson, H. 11. Danville and the 
test of tho -Southern Amusement Company. 

Jambs M. Hathaway is reported to be 
doing well in tho Feature Film business, In 
tho extreme West, Note: Xne extreme West 
Is a very largo place. 

"Hoavi.no aut" Tennby is still roaming 
through Texas with his "Nutless" Carnival. 
"Ron,vlng Art" can not even toe tied, let 
nionc beat. Ho plays one, two, three, four, 
Ave and six day stands, and sometimes two 
weeks, lie says it depends entirely upon 
local conditions how long ho stays In a place. 

To all lu tho carnival business : When you 
are celebrating tho close of tho season 1014 
It would be something to your credit to say, 
"well we stayed the entire season." If you 
stop to figure It out you will find that you 
ltavo all that money you would havo spent in 
railroad fares Jumping from one carnival to 
another. You will also nave added some- 
thing to your reputation for being a sticker. 
And to have the reputation of being a sticker 
Is worth a lot to you. Wo kept our contract, 
didn't wo, Percy? 

P. 3. Everett, manager of Johnny J, He 
isno's Jungleland, nit show, spent the Winter 
In Dallas, Tex,, and put In his time as assist- 
ant manager of the Queen Theatre, one of 
the finest moving picture theatres In tho: 
city. P. J. Is due in Paola. Kan., shortly 
to get his attraction ready for the opening 
of the season. 

Barnby It. Parker has informed J. George 
Loos that It. It. does not stand for bank roll. 
Please accept this ns final from Harney K. 
regarding this much agitated question. 

Johnny J. Bejano said Hint he was on 
the lot of one of those "near carnivals" re- 
cently, and heard a concessionaire ask tho 
price of con cessions, and the "near manager" 
said to the eoncensloiinlre "how much money 
have you got?" to which tho conrwdnna're 
replied "I guess that I had better ride out 
the other half of my round trip ticket." He 



Percy Court will have a laughing show 
with Con T. Kennedy, which Is now being 
built by Artie E. Wills, tho originator of 
this kind of attraction, 

Artie E. Wills Is duo in Wheeling. W. 
Va., shortly to Join the J. W. natnpton Great 
Empire Shows with his "Laughland." Artie 
E. has been all Winter with the J. George 
lyoos Exposition Company. 

Lots of them will answer the call and be 
at the opening If they can make the grade. 
Managers will be getting telegrams like this 
for the next few weeks: "Have everything 
ready to Join, but will require transporta- 
tion for my show and company." That 
shouldn't be. About the middle of the Rea- 
son some of the booking agents will receive 
o wire like this: "Can play fairs as con- 
tracted, provided money Is advanced to move 
train." That shouldn't be, cither. 

Dick Collinb Is still press agent for the 
Al. F. Gorman Greater Shows. Dick Is a 
real press agent, too. Dick soys he shall do 
exactly as the boss says. And be always 
docs. 

John McDonouoii is still special agent 
for the Al. F. Gorman Greater Shows. 

A mono those seen in Fort Worth recently 
were: Harry La Braque, George C. Johnson, 
E. E. Horwltz, MUt S. Mooney, L. C. Beck- 
Wlth, Manuel, Al. F. Gorman, Guy C. Dodson, 
Dick Collins. O. K. Smith, George Tshljan 
and Joe Edwards. 

Johnny J. Jones Is going to make all of 
the rest of the managers in the business 
take notice of him this season. 

It looks now ns if the National Hotel, 
of Leavenworth, Kan., Is going to be put on 
wheels this season In the form of a buffet 
car. 

Havo you been reading TnB New York 
Clipper's new departments, namely, "Wheels 
and Rings" mid "Sharps and Flats?" Have 
you noticed how much real butdoor amuse- 
ment news The New York Clipper now 
lias each week, and its real news? 

Chiquita, the small lady, lias not been 
heard from for some time. Wonder where 
she Is? When Frank L. Albert managed her 
for Frank C. Bostock you always knew where 
she wns, and the public always welcomed 
her arrival. 

Charles M. Nioro is scheduled to play 
the part of General "No-Savy," the Mexican 
general, In Kaspcr-Palmcr & Nlgro's Mexican 
village. 

O. M. Hunt hss closed as talker on the 
Toddy horse show, with the Mlller-Lachman 
Shows, and Ib now In San Antonio waiting 
for the "Battle of Flowers" celebration. 

Carnival Committees — Why not put on 
your celebration under burlesque auspices 
such as "The Frozen Walrus," "Grave 
Diggers and Crutch Makers Union," "Gosh 
I>nmlhs," "Red Roosters," "Red Ties," "Hen 
Peeks," "Dead Boats," "Red Onions," 
"lilock Heads," "Town Simps," "Never 
Works," "Flirts," "Mashers,"' "Lizzies," 
"Bono Heads,' "Nuts," "Boobs," "Bugs," 
"Squnkers,' "fieon Eaters," "Croakers" and 
so on? Elks Lodges, take the tip.

decorated cities at celebrations from Coast 
to Coast, will decorate San Antonio for "The

WELL-GROOMED WOMEN REMOVE 
HAIR GROWTHS WITH EL RADO 



Society women everywhere regard Rl Undo, 
tba Liquid HsJr Remover, as necessary a 
toilet article as cold r renin or face powder. 
Ml Undo adds ImmenKtirabl.v to a woman's 
good looks by removing all trace of an- 
sighrtly balr growths from her face, neck or 
under the arms quickly, thoroughly and 
lianmlcssly. The fact that many physicians 
use the Ingredients In El Undo for exactly 
tho same purpose — hair removing, shows con- 
clusively how perfectly safe It ft. 

Tbe ''ever-ready" convenience of Ell Rado 
makes It exceptionally desirable for the pro- 
fessional woman. There la no mixing of 
powders or preparing of pastes. Yon satu- 
rate the hair with the liquid; in a moment 



or two It becomes dissolved, and after wash- 
ing off with a little plain water not a trace 
of the hair will remain. Tbe akin is left 
smooth, clear and velvety. 

Bay a bottle of Kl ltado and test It on 
your arm. If you are not entirely pleased 
with the results your money will be refunded 
without question. In BOe. and sji.oo slscn at 
all leading drug and department stores, or

Vunlrn flounce effect, the Minaret, tbo ahlin- 
uicring cloth of gold, the simple and the elabo- 
rate, each and every lady bad a chance to ahow 
their good taste, and many did not overburden 
themselves with draperies, aa shown by tbe 
ghostly outline of figures displayed through tbe 
dry jowls by the X-ltay revealing effect of the 
snow white spotlight as It played among the 
marchers. Tbe march Anally led Mr. and Mrs. 
Gene Hughes to tbe centre of the hall, where

William Farnum, who last week addressed three hundred derelicts at the Bowery Mission, 

made up for the role of David Corson, in "Tbo Redemption of David Corson," 

the Famous Players' release of April 10. 

"THE SECRET VAULT." 

A Btory of love and politics Is delightfully 
told In Georgo Klclnc's splendid tworool 
feature film, T Tbo Secret vault," which Is 
scheduled for ralcase through the Ueneral 
Film Company, April 1-1. Tula photoplay Is 
raniurkabtc not only for Its gripping dramatic 
Intensity and superfine Uhuractcr portrayal, 
but also for Its beauty of scene nod Its crys- 
tal-clear photography. It was staged In the 
romantic city of Seville, Spain, by cue "Clues" 
Company of Home, ana is a production well 
worthy of the muster hands that imulej "(Jim 
Yadls/" and "Antony and Cleopatra." 

Tiio efforts of two rival political factions 
to gain possession of documents capable of 
freeing a State secrctnTy from charges of 
lilgh Wesson, and tlic winning light waged by 
the lawyers for tho defense, combine with a 
charming love story to make this a photo- 
drama of extraordinary compelling power.

Man May I'hinoi.m, tho bead of the cos- 
tume department at the Hcllg plant In Chi- 
cago, figured favorably In a. descriptive iir- 
tlclo last week In Tho Ohtaago Daily Howl. 
Iter costumes for "Peacock Alley" have ex- 
cited considerable admiring comment. Dur- 
ing the past week sho has been n notlceaulo 
figure In the Dressmakers' Congress, now In 
session at the Auditorium Hotel. 

Oscar Waoi.b, the well known producer, 
returned last week from an Interesting trip, 
which embraced tbo Ilermudas and the Canal 
Zone of Panama, thoroughly restored to 
health. Mr. ICagIc was elected vice presi- 
dent of the Reel Fellows' Club, Wednesday 
evening, at the Union. This organization 
has the promlso of becoming one or the most 
Important soclnl factors In motographlc In-

urea In "Phantoms" (which, by the way, 

' created a sensational lmprosslon), one of 
the robes she wore was worn by one of her

Anna Mat, tho baby elephant of tbc Bcllg 
Zoo. In Los Angeles, is not only a Mystic 
fshrlncr. but has become acclaimed a member 

1 of the most exclusive set In the United 
States. Sho was a favorite star performer 
at the big Shrine affair In Los Angeles, with 
the result that she was unanimously given 
all degrees without any of the playful Indig- 
nities usually afflicted ut Initiation. Anna 
May was a guest of honor at tho Jungle 
Dinner Dance at Hotel Green, in Pasndena, 
and mingled freely with a billion dollars

royally of tbo Winter colony. Kathlyn 
Williams was the honored guest of the oc- 
casion at a magnificent dinner preceding tho

grand air on detecting tho tick. In favor of 
A lump of sugar, offered by a knowing guest.

It. W. LINN TO SAIL FOR EUROPE- 

ECLECTIC OPENING NUMEROUS 

BRANCH OFFICES. 

Slnoo the Electric Film Co. has entered tho 
rental field on a large and comprehensive 
scalo through branch offices otf its own 
throughout tho country, tho need has be- 
come apparent to secure the widest possible 
variety of carefully selected films from tho 
best offerings tbc European market affords. 
This will make it necessary to havo someone 
on the ground thoroughly competent to judge 
a film through American eyes, as it were. 
This Important task has been entrusted to 
K. W, Linn, who will shortly sail for Europe, 
where he will make his headquarters In Lon- 
don, England Mr. Linn, as Is well known, 
opened tho offices of the Eclectic Film Com- 
pany In the Fall of 1012, and has been man- 
ager of tho concern up to tho present Mr. 
I.lnn's expert knowledge of the requirements 
of tho American Dim market; and his long 
and varied experience in the business, are 
qiiiilitlcntJojia that will lit him pre-eminent- 
ly for his new and responsible duties. Hav- 
ing lived tbo greater part of his llfo in 
Europe, and speaking several languages, Mr. 
l.lim will undoubtedly quickly adjust himself 
to his new surroundings, and contribute his 
Shoro to make tho Eclectic program what 
Its name Implies — one of careful selection 
from tho nest of Alms obtainable In tho 
imirket. Mr. Linn leaves a host of friends 
behind in this country, whose good wishes 
will speed htm on to new successes In tho 
old world. It Is understood that Mr. Linn 
will visit this country once or twice a year, 
and thUB keep thoroughly in touch with tho 
business on this side of tho water. 
EXPLANATIONS ARE IN ORDER— 

HICKEY DEFINES HIS POSITION. 

In explanation of the recent litigation be- 
tween Charles Urban, of London. Eng., and 
William II. Hlckey. vlco orcsldcnt and gen- 
eral manager of the Klneinseolor Company 
of America, It may be stated that It Is a 
matter of personal accounts between the two 
litigants, and docB not In any manner in- 
volve their respective companies or Impair 
their relationship. Mr. Hlckey formerly 
served ob general manager of Mr. Urbon's 
English companies, the Natural Color- Klne- 
maeolor Co., and Klncto. Limited, and at 
the same time acted as European representa- 
tive of the American Klnemaeolor companies. 
Being an American by birth and Inclination, 
Mr. Mickey decided to resign from the Eng- 
lish companies, and devote his future to the 
development of Kluemneolor on this side of 
the water. It Is rather complimentary to 
him than otherwise that Mr. urban became 
somewhat peeved nt this decision. Accord- 
ingly Mr. Hlckey was *>bllpjd to. brjnryiult

THIS OUGHT TO SOLVE THE 
PROBLEM. 

For some weeks past Manager Abe Roths- 
child, of I/oew's Herald Square Theatre, New 
York City, has been confronted with tho 

tiroblcm of Increasing the seating capacity of 
lis house without going to tho expense of 
buying additional opera chairs. Business 
has been so llg that tho Fire Department 
ordered him to rope off the standees. One 
night, while riding home, he solved the 

f problem. He placed tb musicians (twelve 
a number) on the stage, which be has had 
decorated with flowers, and in the middle a 
small and beautiful fountain continually 
watering them. (Tho flowers, not the mu- 
sicians). The pictures arc shown on a silver 
sheet, which is hung above tho musicians 
heads. The effect Is very pretty, and It has 
made a great hit with the patrons of the 
theatre. The space formerly occupied by the 
musicians has been filled out with chairs, 
and thUB Mr. Rothschild has Increased his 
seating capacity with a Very small expense. 
In case of additional crowds, the manager 
Informs us he will remove the wall paper

Teaching the Bible by. means of motion

ing a very practical demonstration at the

Tho enterprise Is an elaborate one. and 
Is comprised in the four part photodrama of 
"Creation," which Is produced by the Inter- 
national Bible Students' Association. 

ThiB spectacle, which Is non-sectarian in 
character, Bceks to' comprehend creation 
from tho nebulous down to tho Messianic 
period, tho threshold of which we are about 
entering. 

Tbg production Is offered with great care 
and beauty of detail and the stereoptlcou 
views nnd phonographic lectures furnish a 
clear rnnccptton of the motion pictures. 

Hero Is an endeavor which gives one pause 
because of Its sincerity, as tho dally ex- 
hibitions are offered "without inonev nnd 
without price." 

Two performances are given dally of tho 
same part, which Is of over two hours' dura- 
tion, lhus It will be seen four days arc re- 
quired In which to complete tho circle. It Is 
unnecessary to state that reverence marki

FAMOUS PLAYERS FORMS ALLIAnGB 
Willi CHARLES FROHMAN — IM- 
PORTANT COALITION FOLLOWS 
CLOSELY ON IIEBLS OF AN- 
NOUNCEMENT OF ARRANGEMENT 
TO PRODUCE FILM VERSIONS OF 
HENRY W. SAVAGE, INC., WELL 
KNOWN PLAYS. 

Adnlph Zukor, Daniel Frohman and Edwin 
8. Porter, president, managing and tech- 
nical directors, respectively, of the Famous 
Players Film Company, have formed an al- 
liance with the prominent theatrical pro- 
ducer, Charles Frohman, by which It secures 
all the plays miner the control of that dls- 
tlreulshcd manager. 

This is one of the most important and 
tventful motion picture theatrical affiliations 
since the Idea of presenting famous plays In 
motion pictures was conceived by the Fa- 
mous Players. 

A special studio is to be built immediately 
in Long Island City, at the corner of Bordea 
Avenue and Van Dam Street, which is to be 
vred exclusively for the Famous Players- 
Charles Frohman plays. The Famous Play- 
ers Film Co. will organize a special auh- 
Rldlary company, to bo devoted to the Charles 
Frohman productions, which will be gov- 
erned, directed and exploited by the parent 
company, continuing Its present methods In 
the distribution of these films. 

Through this alliance the Famous Flayers 
Film Company acquires for film purposes all 
the famous Charles Frohman successes, sev- 
eral hundred In number. These noted stage 
successes Include the plays made famous at 
the Empire and other Frohman theatres. In 
addition to tho new studio In Long Island 
City and tho present studios in New York 
City and Los Angeles, the Famous Players 
Film Company will send Hugh Ford, tho 
prominent theatrical director, recently «n- 

f aired by them, and a corps of assistants, 
o Europe, whero they will be Identified with, 
tho Famous Players London studio, and 
where they will produce the special subjects 
which are to bo made In England and on tho 
Continent of tho various Charles Frohman 
English French and German successes, which 
have been on'! of tho enormous factors In Ma 
managerial triumphs. 

This amalgamation of one of the most 
powerful theatrical producers Of the country 
with tho pioneer concern In tho presentation 
of famous plays In motion pictures Is but 
another evidence of the necessarily closo re- 
lation of the film to the drama. The name 
of Charles Frohman la synonymous with tho 
big pretentious drama, just as the Famous 
Plajcra trademark indicates tho highest form 
trf film production, eo that the alliance or 
these two eminent firms ensures to the mo- 
tion *)cturo public an Imposing and unlimited 
perlcs of famous stage successes In film, and 
bring? to the Famous Players a fund of in- 
valuable material such as no other film con- 
cern has access to or evor can secure ngnin. 

It Is a matter of general knowledge that for 
some tlmo past several of the leading film 
producing companies of the world havo mado 
decided efforta to interest Charles Frohman 
In a film tuBlintlon, but without results. 
Thus lis association with the Famous rlny- 
ere Film Co., foilowJne so closely upon tho 
announcement of the Famous Players — Hen.-y 
W. Savage nJllanice, places tho Famous Piny- 
ore In the moat secure position tenable, and 
establishes that company as the worlds lorc- 
most film producers of celebrated plays la 
motion pictures. > -. . 

Universally famed aa one of the most en- 
terprising and aggressive theatrical managers, 
with extensive International operations, 
CbnTlca Frohman has for many year* advo- 
cated and practiced tho selection of the 
timely drama with a contemporary appeal. 
Hence the value of his long list of successful 
playa is tremendously enhanced for motion 
pictures, 

Among the promlnont playa that are now 
available by this alliance for tho b ajnous 
Flayers program arc several hundred of tno 
most conspicuous dramatic successes of tho 
past twenty years, as Charles frohman has 
during that time had control of tho worm s 
greatest dramatic authors, who have created 
tnuraerablo world- renowned dramatic tri- 
umphs. 

A unique co-incidence that enters into the 
affiliation^ Is the fact that It united the Froli- 
man brothers. Daniel and Charles. In another 
and novel hoatrlcsl combination, under con- 
ditions made possible by the rapid progress 
of the motion picture, and the phenomenal 
development of the Famous Players Him Co.

WM. F. HADDOCK. 

Tali smiling tbcsplan, who looks happily 
on the world from the top of this column 
with such a carefree expression, is none other 
than 'the well known director of motion pic- 
ture productions, William F. Haddock. Be- 
fore catering' the cinematographic field 
"Silent Bill" was, for years, a legitimate 
actor and stage director. In this relation he 
staged plnye for the leading producers of 
the country (and the dry. as well), includ- 
ing the dramatist, E. H. Rose, and others of 
equal; prominence. 

Ills picture directing experience was gained 
with such standard concerns as the Edison 
and Eclair Co.s. The All Star Film Com- 
pany enlisted his services for tho transition 
of "Paid in Full" from a stage success to 
a screen production, and one of the finest 
features of the present season was the re- 
sult. I ■ - 

BUI is somewhat of a "Joiner," being a 
sociable fellow, and divides Ms leisure time 
among the Actors' Society of America, of 
which he Is president ; the Screen Club, of 
which he is secretary, and the B, P, O. Elks, 
of which he Is an active member of Porte- 
mouth Lodge, No. 63. Besides these fra- 
ternal and social organizations he is a Mason, 
un Odd Fellow, a Friar, and member of Camp 
No. 80, Sons of Veterans. Some yearly pay- 
ment of -dues, I should imagine. 

However, 11111 says it's worth it, as ho 
has a lot of fun at that. Presently bo la 
employing hliusclf and his celebrated Grena- 
dine artlst'B bow tie in the service of the 
Life Photo Film Corporation. "The Bank- 
er's Daughter" is the name of the featuro 
which is being produced under his direction, 
mill judging from reports, when finished 
will add to his already excellent and well 
earned reputation as a painstaking motion 
picture director. 
KCLAIR FACTORY, AT FORT LBH, 

N. J., DESTROYED BY FIRE MARCH 

10- DAMAUE RUNS INTO HUNDRED 

THOUSANDS. 

The factory of the Eclair Film Co. was 
completely destroyed by Are Thursday after- 
noon, March 19. . The developing plant, 
which Is situated In Fort Lee. N. J., might 
have been partly saved, but the water. supply 
of (be Jersey "village gave out at a critical 
moment . 

The plant Itself was equipped with a full 
complement of flre-flghtlng apparatus, which 
was rendered practically useless owing to 
the fact of the feeble water pressure, which 
was incapable of throwing a stream over a 
fetv feet This lack of force was fatal, and 
tho highly Inflammable' films were soon burn- 
ing at a furious rate. . 

when the fire broke out a company of 
actors were rehearsing for a production of 
"A Gentleman from Mississippi," which Tom 
Wise starred in several seasons ago. They 
made their escape none too soon, as the fire 
gained unprecedented headway In short 
order. ... 

The destructive conflagration started in 
the Joining room, and Is supposed to have 
been caused by defective insulation of elec- 
tric wircB.. However, an investigation has 
bcea started which la expected will de- 
termine tho true origin. 

Irene Whipple, who was employed in the 
Joining room of the factory, discovered the 
Arc Arst, and- realizing the terrific posslbll- 
ltiei of a blaze of this sort, Immediately 
spread tho alarm. It was through this 
young lady's efforts In warning the numerous 
employees, of the Arc, and her prompt and 
cool-headed aotlon that there was not a seri- 
ous loss of life to record. As it was, only 
one youth. Robert Klein by name, was In- 
jured slightly by having his hand crushed 
by a felling timber. . . 

Francis Doubllcr, who had charge of the 
negative department, also become eligible to 
nmnborebJp In the heroic class, owing to a 
desperate dash through Are and emoko to 
the vaults, where the big featuro Aim pro- 
ductions were stored, and bat for the 
efficient, and quick work of the aforesaU 
Irene Whipple, would have undoubtedly lost 
hb) life, He rescued several of tho more ex- 
pensive negatives, among which were "The 
CabaHcro'SWay" and "The Stirrup Brother.' 
In a vain effort' <to secure the negative of 
"I'rotea," the?60.000 Parisian Eclair produc- 
tion, be was overcome by tho dense chemical 
fumes and smoke: and had It not boon for the 
Umely arrival of Miss Whipple, Doubller 
would have tost his life. 

The Eclair Are. at. Fort Lee Is the moat dis- 
astrous conflagration that the Aim business 
his suffered from in years. The Thanboiiser 
Are a year or so ago at New RochoVle being 
tie next in money loss. 

Henry Mairo, who had charge of the fac- 
tory, severely criticized the Inefficient water 
anancetneavts of tho Hackensack water La 
and Mayor White coincided with Ms view* in 
<4hja relation, declaring bis ntentlon of laving 
- the matter before the Public -Otllltl«w Corn- 
mission at. Trenton, the New Jersey Stnto, 
capltol. "' VT _ _. 

.To show. Just exactly how futile the effort* 
of the ane-A^U'ra ware in coping with the 



distinctive Individuality with which be In- 
vests every dramatic role no assume*, have 
made him one of the most popular stars on 
the American stage to-day. 

"The Loat Paradise" Is world-famed aa 
the greatest capital and labor play ever writ- 
ten. It portrays with vivid realism the 
figantlc struggle between the two master 
orces of modern Industry. Tho situations 
nre tensely dramatic and tho heart Interest 
has a universal appeal. The superintendent 
of the Knowlton Iron Works 1b in love with 
his employer's daughter, who has been 
nared In luxury and is the Idol of her 
father. To save this woman from the 
knowledge that her father Is a thief, the 
superintendent takes upon his own shoulders 
the crime which has been committed by the 
father, but his sacrifice Is Anally rewarded 
by the woman be loves, who gives him her 
heart and decides to stand with lilm on the 
bide of the oppressed worklngmcn. to whose 
cause her lover has devoted Lis life's labor. 
Mr. Warner will play the part of the man 
who strives to reconcile the contending ele- 
ments, and who Is willing to sacrifice name 
and fame for the woman ho loves. II. B. 
Warner has attained recent dramntlc tri- 
umphs In "Alias Jimmy Valentine" and "The 
Ghost Breaker." 

ify an odd co-incidence tho leading char- 
acter of the play is also named Warner.

time limit is set at eight days, aud If the 
big raw stock Alb concern docs not deolaro 
their intentions by that time the Injunction 
becomes operative. This would mean lncal- 
cuablo damage to the motion picture industry 
as far as the manufacturing and producing 
of new pictures are concerned, ana It Is ex- 
pected that a compromise between the East- 
man Co. and the Goodwin heirs, who have 
won the infringement suit, will be effected 
it. the course of tho next few days. The pro- 
posed arrangement, if entered Into would per- 
mit I he Eastman Kodak Co. to manufacture 
M. P. Alms for the next four months, pro- 
viding they pay the Goodwin heirs twenty 
per cent, of all sales. After this date a new 
agreement would have to be mado If the 
Eastman Co. would continue to make films 
of the sort apparently originated by the Iter. 
Hannabal Goodwin, who Invented the pro- 
cess some twenty-seven yeors ago. The in- 
ventor died In 1001, and the litigation has 
been kept up continuously alnco then by his 
heirs. 

- The Eastman Company in asking for the 
stay declared that inasmuch em they sup- 
plied ninety per cent, of the motion picture 
Industry with film that it would hardly be 
fair to cut off this supply without some at- 
tempt at reaching a settlement of some sort. 
In, making the ruling, granting the eight 
day respite, the Appelate Court said : "Alter 
the almost unprecedented delays of this con 
trovcrsy we think the tlmo has come when 
the complainant is entitled to prompt and 
adequate relief. It is evident that nothing 
short of an injunction, or the equivalent 
thereof, will give the complainant anything 
more than the chance of recovering some- 
time in the distant future the amount which 
may bo awarded by an accounting for sales 
during tho time the injunction Is suspended. 
Unquestionably it is for the interest of all 
the public that the defendant should be per- 
mitted to complete the sales, contracts and 
obligations now outstanding. If it can be 
done without Jeopardizing tno interests of 
the complainant. Wo think this can bo accom- 
plished bv providing that an injunction bo 
Issued eight days after date of this decision, 
unless in tho meantime tho defondant furnish 
to the complainant a verified statement of 
lbs total list prices of the infringing Alms 
made between Sept. 0, 1013, and March 10, 
1014, and pay to the complainant twenty 
per centum or the total amount or give a 
bond approved by the District Court to se- 
cure payment." 

FEDERAL CENSORSHIP THE LATEST 
—COMMISSION OF FIVE PROPOSED. 
The latest censorship proposal takes the 
form of a measure known as tho Hughos 
Bill, which provides for Federal censorship 
of all motion picture films, and a commis- 
sion of five to do tho censoring. 

Can you Imagine In your wildest moments 
Ave people, no matter how able, censoring 
all the Alms produced and Imported into the 
United ^States? Of course, tho feat would 




the famous" itelasco-De Mllle' plaja. ', 

Mr. Warner's ttriklng personality and ihe 



be physically Impossible, but a little thing 
like that doesn't bother tho censorship 
monomaniacs in the least. Just by way of 
flavoring the mcasuro and Interesting tho 
manufacturers, and also exhibitors, who 
will bo really the ultimate "goats" If a bill 
like this should become a law, a Federal tax 
of $3 per thousand fcct of film for all "In- 
spections" is incorporated in tho proposed 
statute. 

HOW ABOUT LOCAL CENSORSHIP? 

To be euro If all local censorship bo abol- 
ished through tho adoption of a Federal law, 
line— but — will the various local censors be 
satisfied with a condition like tills? Answer. 
They most assuredly will not. 

Tno taste of meddling In someone else's 
affairs, and becoming "their brother's 
keeper * has <becn too enjoyable to glvv up. 
JOHN COLLIER AGAINST, REV. WIL- 
BUR F. CRAFTS FOR THE 
PROPOSED STATUTE. 

John Collier, secretary at tho National 
Board of Censorship, which is obviously not 
notional In any sense of tho word, has de- 
clared himself against tho Federal censorship 
bill. 

In speaking of tho matter Mr. Collier 
stated plainly that he was not speaking Tor 
tho National Board, but as an individual. 
Mr. Collier wisely pointed out the fact that 
tbo purely voluntary board of one hundred 
and fifty had their hands full as It was, and 
naturally a commission of live would be in- 
adequate. 

Also, Inasmuch as tho new law designates 
motion pictures as articles of Intcr-Stnto 
commerce. Mr. Collier seemed to think this 
designation a matter of doubt. 

The Ilev. Wilbur F. Crafts, who is agitat- 
ing tbo passing of the bill, encouraged by 
the presence of the Be v. Henry II. l'rlngle, 
assistant superintendent of the Ileform 
Bureau, nnd the Itcv. Wm. Chase, president 
of tho New York Civic l.oaguc. spoke in 
favor of Federal censorship, pointing out Its 
advantages over Stale, city and town censor- 
ship. Mr. Crafts and bis co-adjulors seemed 
to think the "movies" sadly In need of 
watching. 

TRIGGER SENDS A LETTER— NEFF 
SILENT UP TO DATE. 

Sam Trigger, the president of tho N. Y. 
Association of II. P. Exhibitors, It is said, 
sent a letter expressing an opinion that Fed- 
eral Censorship would be highly desirable. 
M. A. Neff, the president of the M. P. E. L. 
of A., hasn't expressed an opinion up to date. 
Mr. Neff, who has always beenso out spoken 
for all kinds of censorship, evidently over- 
looked a bet here for a little publicity. What I

Frank Montuomrhy and Mona Dabk 
fxatiibr get lots of amusement as well as 
work out of their Indians. There are two 
big boys that Monty picked up wandering 
hungry in tho streets of I/os Angeles. There 
Is nothing they will not do for their director 
now. Mona told them that all the Indians 
were to have new costumes. This delighted 
them and one said : "(lood, put plenty beads 
on." Frank Montgomery now possesses the 
most wonderful Indian wardrobe ever owned 
by nn Individual or a company. 

Wiiatuvbii Bess Meredyth does she does It 
with "all her heart." Recently she Imper- 
sonated an adventuress and Bbe asked a well 
known aotor what he thought of her per- 
formance. "So good my dcur," he replied, 
"that It will shock Major Funkbouser dread- 
fully." 

in Allan Dwan Dwan's presont two-reel 
drama, Pauline Bush portrays a young, dis- 
graced mother with a babe, an insane woman 
of forty and the Infant grown to womanhood, 
running tho gamut of emotions. AH this 
pleases this young actress Immensely. 

llAiuir Poi.labo, who created the already 
famous 'Wcauty" brand at the American 
fttudlos, has received a surprising number 
of letters of congratulation from exhibitors 
from all over the country and from England. 
Tho gist of them is appreciation for clean 
and artistic stories directed tn such a man- 
ner that they "get over." Those who know 
Harry Pollard are not at all surprised at 
his success, for he combines up-to-date 
methods with careful thought-out direction. 
He lives in his work. 

Thbrm is possibly no happier girl in the 
rutted States to-day than Pauline Bush, for 
eho feels that she is now strong and healthy 
She was a delicate and highly strung child 
and, although never really sick, had to take 
the best of care of herself. California and 
the open air has done wonders for her. and 
she feels the joy of It all and is grateful, 
aud would as soon tackle a comedy as a 
psychological one If called upon to do so.

Cl,ko .Mammon, now starring at tho bei

ceeded in her profession long before she ex

of the average girl and did not Indulge in 
wild dreams. STio said to herself: "It will 
lake mo ten years to become a well known 
actress, and I will start nt the bottom." 
She did, but her natural talent and beauty 
took her along and placed her at the head of 
a repertoire company ot her own in less than

her experience and popularity she never had

exciting kind of adventure and mystery, and 
Grace Cunard, as Lucille Love. bnB the finest 
kind of opportunity to prove nor versatility, 
and will portray overy emotion known to a 
woman, and will be seen in somo gorgeous 
costumes ns well as In rags. The series will 
be very widely advertised and the story will 
be published In a number of newspapers as a 
serial. Francis Ford and his company will 
do some considerable traveling during the 
course of the fourteen plays, and a very 
large company of extra people have been 
engaged for the series. 

Burton Kino la steadily making some very 
beautiful pictures at his Glendalr- studios, 
under the "Ueona" brand. His "Gamblers" 
Is one of the most powerful single reel pic- 
tures ovor put out, and was finely acted by 
Itobyn Adair, Ed. Brady, Virginia Klrtley 
and Eugenie Forde. A prominent factor In 
the success of these films Is the excellent 
fcollng which t lists nt the studio. Mr. King 
will not allow any bad feeling to exist, and 
treats all bis people ao well that they hare 
no cause to complain. 

IOuwin Auoust Is back looking well and 
ready for hard work. At the special request 
of tils company he will put on nothing but 
special feature*, which will be released under 
the brand of the "Gold Seal." He wUl again 
direct and will wtHo tho hot part of his own 
photoplays. Edna Maiaon will play opposite 
to him, aud Hal August will play tho Juve- 
nile, while Hugene Ormonde will play heavies 
and characters, thus making up an especially 
strong ootnpany.

mate actor, who was at one time with the 
Nostor Company, and later with the Us- 
sanay. Is now directing ltobert Leonard and 
Ilaeel lluckham. 

Onb by one certain actresses Imbued with 
the spirit of adventure make tho acquain- 
tance of animals. This time It la Bess Mere- 
dyth, who Is one of those girls tn whom ani- 
mals tsko a natural liking. In her hist pic- 
ture Bess had to act with the leopards, and 
there was no gettlug nway from I hem as 
she was escaping from a burning building 
at the back of her. Miss Meredyth says she 
duin't feel nay fear and much surprised the 
keeper, who did not want her to evon try. 
Bess Meredyth can now go to the cages and 
etroko the leopards, nnd they look for her.

that she bad gotten over her recent injuries, 
for she bubbled with fun all through the 
comedy. There la no actrtss on tho screen 
rtxulay who looks more "fetching" than 
ionise Glaum when »hc Is 'dressed in some 
quaint costume, be it a school mann, nurse, 
Quaker or Dutch girl. Her good humor Is

Louisa Glaum, wliosc "Boltelitful corned; 
work Is almost as much a feature of tho 
"Universal Ike" series aa Carney himself, 
lias a Tory serious aide to her character, and 
In a recent Interview In Ix>s Angeles de- 
plored tho efforts of tho press to enst dis- 
credit upon a "beautiful profession" by 
crediting every extra glrl'n errors to the 
"morion picture actress. She goes on to 
aay, and nor words are worth considering: 
"I am glad to bo able to do something that 

Provides toe with a comfortable llvlng,i>nr- 
Icularly something I enjoy doing. Thore 
la no better medicine for a stage-struck girl 
than to hare to earn her living on too stage. 
filie is soon taught the difference between 
work and her Idea of acting. My profession 
Is Just along tho same line as that of every 
other woman who Is trying to succeed. Per- 
ponnlttv counts brains count, a littio talent 
helps — but hard work wins." 

Wilfred Lucab, who Is directing Cleo 
Madison at the Universal, comes of a mu- 
sical family. He was a welt known operatic 
star himself, and still delight b with his

tention ami bet Harry he would repeat the 
action In the ivlcture several times. This set 
thorn to giggling, and Harry soon started to 
shake wM'h laughter, when an usher came 
swooping down upon them and said severely : 
"Say, If you two don't like this picture, re- 
member there's other who do, and If you 
win* to guy It you can go and get your 
money back. ' Harry tried to smother his 
laughter but could not and they beat a 
hasty retreat, while tho audience glared at 
them, not guessing who Uiey were.

Comment. Pertinent Paragraphs by our 

Special Correspondent. 



ALL-EN IN CHICAGO. 
Tom W. Allen, vice-president and general agent 
of tbe General Ammetuent Co., accompanied liy 
Mr. and Mrs. J. Allen Doirnahy, honored the 
Western Bureau of Tan Nbw York Clipper, In 
Chicago, with a call Tncsdny afternoon March IT. 
It was a St. I'airlck's Day greeting for fair, 
MT. and Mrs. Darnahy were passing through the 
city on their way to Fontlac, 111., where tbey 
recently gave an entertainment under tho auspices 
of the Elks, and bad been Invited to attend a 
reception to be given In their honor, Next Sum- 
mer Mr. Darnaby will put on a circus at Dominion 
Park, In Montreal, . Oan. 

Tom Allen stated that preparation] for tbe 
tours of tho four carnival companies comprising 
the General Amusement Organization were being 
pushed to completion at tbe Winter quarters lit 
Leavenworth, Kan., and predicted that, after a 
careful survey of tbe situation, the season of 1014 
would prove a successful one for well regulated 
carnival aggregations, properly routed. According 
to General Agent Allen tbe curalval fraternity 
bis recognized the advisability, hid absolute 
necessity of assembling attractions away from the 
ordinary and to make tin. equipment flrst class, 
and to Insist upon strict deportment on tho part 
of toe omployeees In every department. The Na- 
tional Hotel at Leavenworth, Kan., Is filled with 
troopers awaiting the opening of Tom W. Allen, 
V. It. Parker and S. W. Brundago shows. As 
Mr. Allen said, - prior to his departure Tuesday 
night for St. Louis, where he went to close op a 
number of railroad contracts, the thousands of 
readers of Tub Old Reliable will have a fund 
of Interesting Information for their perusal within 
tho next thirty days. 

CHRISTINA LOUISE ALLEN ARRIVES. 
No wonder Tom V. Allen Is all puffed up these 
days. It's enough to make anybody happy to 
welcomo a daughter, and according to report, 
Christina Loodse Allen, who came to brighten tho 
lives of Mr. and Mrs. Allen, Wednesday, March 
11, at their residence In Leavenworth, Is just 
about the sweetest thing that ever happened. 
Bhe weighed eight pounds when Mr. .Stork brought 
her, and aa the first grandchild of Colonel diaries, 
W. Parker, "America's Amusement King," who 
his, up to this time had about everything he 
wanted In this world, excepting a grandchild, Miss 
Allen Is very much "it." 

DATIS CLAN FEEDS THOUSANDS. 
In this country we have tbe Steel Trust and 
the Tobacco Trust aad other trusts, but tbe big- 
gest little trust (and the only one of Its kind) 
Is the Davis Family circuit Cookhouse Trust, 
which, during the coming Summer season, will 
serve on an average of six thousand meals a day. - 
This coming season Charles Davis will be with 
the Frank A. Robblns Show: James and Vic. 
Davis with the Hagcnbcck-Wallace Shows; Geo. 
Davis with the Al. 0. Barnes Animal Shows, 
and Arthur Davis with the 101 Ranch Wild West. 
Life with a circus Is Just one darned thing 
after another, but perhaps the most pleasant 
feature (or on the other bond, what has been In 
days gone past, the most annoying factor, until 
modern methods were Introduced) Is tbe cook 
tent. 

Circus folk live Just like one big family, ami 
tbey are extremely human, in spite of the fact 
that a lot of laymen have an Idea that the fol- 
lowers of the white tops do not really belong In 
the general scheme of things. They enjoy eating 
good food, Just like other people, and they like 
to be considered as belonging to the big world 
family. 



Tbe Davis clan seems to have a particular 
adaptability In tho direction of the circus com- 
sjllisjlj 

It takes tact to please everybody with a cir- 
cus of a Wild West aggregation. It requires 
Ingenuity to see that everything In the cook tent 
Is Just as everybody would like to hare It 

Dr. Grouch reumrkod "Every squawk starts and 
Mulshes In the cook-tent," 

I recall during my last season 'villi "The JJnr- 
num 4 Bailey Greatest Show on Earth," when we 
fed 1,339 people, three times a day, on the lot 
We had ninety-two men working In the cook-tent 
Refrigerator cars carried the meats and delicacies, 
and local contractors, twenty-four hours In advance, 
of the show, arranged for the Ice, milk, etc. 

Arthur Davis Is to leave for New York this 
wcok to assume charge of the commissary for tbe 
101 Wild West Show. His experience with tbe 
Hotel La Salle, In Chicago, during tbe past two 
years, will undoubtedly prove of great value to 
him In looking after the comforts of the army of 
cntertrh'ers with the big Wild West company. 

Tho successful tent show proprietor has long 
since leumed tbe lesson that It puys to food his 
people well, and George Arlington, general man- 
ager of the 101 Ranch Wild West Show, was one 
of the first to appreciate this necessity. His cook 
tent with the Bamum & Bailey Show In 1003 
was -a model In every way, and I am not at all 
surprised that Manager Arlington has engaged 
Artbur Davis to lock after tbe commissary for the 
101 Ranch organization. ... 

OHIe Webb, superltendcnt of commissary for the 
Rlngllng Brothers World's Greatest Shows, was 
In Chicago last week, and la an Interview en- 
larged upon the new dining car, which will form 
a part of the performers' section of tbe Rlngllng 
Circus Train. According to OHIe, this car will 
he fitted up with all modern conveniences, and 
will be the most pretentious of Its kind ever car- 
ried with a traveling organization. 

Tub Rlngllng Brothers engagement at the Coli- 
seum, Chicago, will undoubtedly be a record 
breaker. 

Faro Iti'ririNAN Is making great preparations 
for the 1014 season of the Yankee Robinson 
Shows. 

It is reported that the Tsmmen-BonOls-Burfalo 
Bill Indian War moving pictures arc the greatest 
ever made. 

Tits Chlcogo colony wlU miss Arthur Davis

It is reported, but not confirmed, that the Rico 
Bros.' Colossal Shows may not go out this season.

a Mr. McGiuley will havo the privileges.

All those feet 
had Corns 

Watch the feet that 
now trip lightly. All of 
them had corns. 

But the owners learned of 
Blue-jay. They applied it in 
a minute. There was no more 
pain. The corn was forgotten. 
And in two days the corn came 
out. 



Soon or late you will treat your 
conn in that way. You will stop 
the paring, atop the old-time treat- 
ments. You will deal with corns in 
a scientific way. 

You will take them out, with no 
soreness, no pain, no inconvenience. 

Nearly half the corns in the 
country are now ended by Blue-jay — 
a million corns a month. 

Why wait r Other ways, as you 
well know, don't really end a corn. 
Why don't you try this easy, painless, 
most effective way f 

Why don't you try it now?

More Ihnn ono hundred concessions wblch will

by Frank Burt, Director of Concessions, for tho 
Pminmn-Paclflc International Exposition Tills Is 
double tbe amount expended upon tbe umusesucnt 
features at either the Chicago or St. Louis exposi- 
tions, and It Is certain flint R great many more 
of tbe seven thouiand applications will be al- 
lowed. 

Noted showmen and nmuseuMmt feature experts 
ftom all parts of tbe world have applied for space 
In the sixty-five aero tract to be devoted exclu- 
sively to the entertainment of the visitors at 
tbe Panama-PaclQc Exposition. 

A few rollings from those already allotted shows

wblch are being utilized for amusement. Devices 
which will thrill and creato sensations have been 
arranged for, while close by will lie educatlon.it 
and Instructive features and marvelous specta- 
cles and quaint and original restaurants. 

Two of the most expenslvo end elaborate of the

of tbe ear windows as tho train — bearing full- 
alaed coaches over a staiularl gouge track —

the cliff* twenty miles away and tho bottom of the 
canyon one and one-half miles away, 

Toyland Grown Up la the million dollar Idea 
of Frederick Thompson, the creator of Luna Park, 
at Coney Island, and the New York Hippodrome. 
Tbe spectacle which he la to present at the ex- 
position Is the outgrowth of a remark once made 
by John D. Rockefeller to tbe effect that he 
would give a million dollars If he could be made 
a boy Just for one hour. 

All of the toys wblch children play with will 
be displayed In the concevilon. but all grown to 
man's snd even giant's slse. For Instance, one, 
"Noah's Ark" has been erected snd Is a large 
three story building, snd an exact reproduction 
of the ordinary "Noah's Ark" that every boy 
owns. It will contain life-size mechanical ani- 
mals, snd visitors to the ark will be required to 
undergo tbe many difficulties which made Noah 
and Mrs. Noah white haired before they reached 
tbe age of six hundred years, and until one has 
salved the Innumerable problems he may not leave 
the ark. 

Scores of amusement devices will be Included 
In the concession, and will be constructed on the 
principle of making every man and woman, who 
retains some semblance of tbe spirit of youth, a 
child again. 

Few OaUfomlans have frequent opportunities of 
Indulging In Winter sports, but at tbe exposi- 
tion, even In the heart of San Francisco's mild 
Summer, every visitor to the exposition will have 
a chance to skate on real Ice, pelt each other 
with snow balls, and toboggan and akl to the 
heart's delight. An Ice hippodrome la lo be con- 
structed, and will be two hundred by six hundred 
feet In slse. 

One of the feature concessions will he the 
Infant Incubator, in which living Infants will be 
on exhibition. Formerly when a baby was bora 
prematurely, it was doomed to death. By the 
means of tide recently discovered aid to science 
tbouaands of babies' lives have been saved. The 
Incubator will be shown In a building which will 
have a frontage of one hundred feet, and will 
be under the direction of tbe child apcctallst, Dr. 
M. A. Oouney. The tiny po/tlenta may be seen

The Oldest Operative Sliowinata In America— Nearly Fifty Yenrs an 

Amusement Caterer. 



Georgo Calvin Sstterleo, for that Is Slg. Sau- 
(olio's real name, was born at Luxerne, N. Y., In 
the year 1848. His boyhood daya did not differ 
from those of other lads, except nt ru early age 
bo began to liavc a longing to see the world. 

At tho ego of fourteen he had drifted to New 
York Oily, and In 1803 bo was attracted by tho 
call to aims of Uncle 8am, ami nppllod for a 
drummer boy's position and enlisted. He learned 
to play bis drum at Fort Columbus, and was sent 
to the front with tho Eighteenth New York In- 
fantry, afterwards re-enllstmg In tbe Seventh 
Cuvnlry, where ho remained until tbe cloeo of the 
war. 

Ho began his show career a year or so after 
the war us a song and dunce inuu aud cotncdlnn, 
for during the war he had a good opportunity 
to learn dancing, tutored by various dancers who 
bud happened to enlist, and It wus only a few 
years before be became the owner of hie own 
show, which was largely given by himself. He 
had studied magic and ventriloquism, and became 
un ndept, and to-day, despite his years, there 
arc few bettor most*** of tho mystic or deceptive 
manipulators of tho voice. 

It was ut Uiis time that the ambitious young ne- 
cromancer believed he saw the. need of a more am- 
bitious name with a foreign accent, hence became 
tslgnor Saulolle, which wne afterward abbreviated 
to plain Sig., and that namo has becoauc n house- 
hold word, and tbe only one by wblcb ho is 
kuowu at homo and abroad. 



In hi* home he Is "Slg.," In bis various lodges 
he Is "Slg.," at tho banks he writes "Slg,," and 
It will, no doubt, be the name which will be In- 
scribed upon bis last resting place. 

All clrcusdom knows Slg. Sautelle, and all the 
world of showgocrs know the name and what It 
Implies. 

'He has been the originator of Idea after Idea 
In the world of sawdust, among which are clown 
bands, lady clowna, lady ring masters and Wild 
West and circus combined, while Inindrcds of per- 
formers have made their apprenticeship profitable 
st tils Winter quarters. 

Mr, Sautelle haa bad everything In the show 
world from a one horse show to a fifty oar aggre- 
gation, not forgetting an "Uncle Tom" show, and 
tbe only canal boat circus that ever made mouey. 

He la a member of the Masonic Order, O. A. 
rt., Red Men, I. O. O. F., K. of P., and others. 
He has been commander of Wllloughby Babcock 
Post, No. 105, 0. A. R. for years, and takes a 
great active Interest therein. 

Slg. Sautelle has amassed a fortune, and bos 
been liberal to all deserving, and Bays be will re- 
main In the show business all the rest of his 
days. He makes his borne st Homer, N. Y., 
where ho holds vast belongings In real estate. 
He lives In a palatial home, made of a former 
ring barn, and baa horses, cattle, aud a goodly 
assortment of farm pots. But as Slg. puts It, 
there Is no charm greater than the old love and 
the sawdust ring.

canvases with more than twenty thousand square 
feet of surface and painted by Paul Phlloppoteaux 
a noted French artist The cost of the palntlne 
alone Is »120,000. k 

Another Illusion which will present a novel 
vista of the world's life to visitors will be the 
Submarines. Entering a typical United States 
Navy submarine the hatch will be closed and the 
boat will seemingly descend to a great depth. 
Lights will then be flashed through Ibe port holei 
and vlewe of deep ocean life will be shown to 
tbe paeseoger*. The boat will then pass through 
sn sllegorlcal representation of the realms or 
Neptune, and the nymphs, mermaids and the 
homes of tbe Inhabitants of the deep. The evolu- 
tion of the submarines will be displayed also, 
and will afford an educational exhibit.

bling alone the thrills of winning and losing may 
be had In a reproduction of nn old-time Western

rows or Joy resultant from being In or out of

Nuremberg girls will not prove an attraction, 
equally as great as the quaint and world-famous 
old market place. For both will be presented In- 
tho delightful concession. The nmrket-place wilr 
tie a reproduction of the existent mart of Nurem- 
berg, which has not beou changed for more tluio

wltb Henry Blair on the front. "Doc" llrlt- 
woods and wife, with a ham wheel ; II. L. Austin

The Elka, at Talladega, Invited the members 
of tho company to a banquet March IT, In their

remembered. The Talladega boya are past 
masters In the art of entertaining, and mirth, 
music anil melody, and a delightful spread,- Inter- 
spersed with refreshing drinks, laHted until the 
wee email hours of morning. Tallsilegn was a
